Drilling a residential water well

Excel Pump and Well invited the Bozeman Build to a drill site South of Four Corners to experience the instal of a residential water well. The drill team includes Tyler (12 years exp), Colton (14 years exp), and Wesley (18 years exp) all super talented, hard working individuals who all gained their experience from the legendary Tom Duffy who passed in 2020 during an aerial firefighting mission. The Excel team continues to carry on his legacy in their work. A few watch and learnings include:
Wells must be at least 50+ feet away from septic tanks and at least 100+ feet from a drain field. The MT DEQ enforces this.
Well Casings/Risers are 20ft long 6.625 OD carbon steel casings are welding together using a 6011 1/8 stick (all preference)
All modern wells are required to be documented with the MT GWIC
The well we bored today (South of Four Corners in the Gallatin River Basin) was appx 47 feet deep sitting 3 feet above a clay layer at 50' below surface. We hit water at appx 16 feet but that did not achieve the same gallons per minute that were experienced at 47' around 50-60 gpm
The truck mounted drill rig has over 40 grease ports
Wells around Belgrade are appx 60-100 ft
The deepest water well Excel has drilled was 880 ft and will go deeper if necessary!
