/diy/ - Do It Yourself

If you have water 20-30ft. down, you can put in a sand-point/driven-point well yourself for under $100.

Basically, you just hammer your pipe into the ground with a sledge until you hit water. Of course, if you screw it up, it's hell getting your pipe back out to try another spot. So, knowing how deep the water table is in your area is important. There's a number of guides out there that cover this subject in more depth if you're interested in going this route.

>8k for a well

If you have groundwater that isn't very deep, say 20ft down or so, you can drive a sand-point well for under $100.

All you need is the well point, some steel pipe/conduit, a pump and a sledge hammer.
