What changes in Callahan
Callahan's wells are the water supply, full stop. A new bore is a Floridan well, cased and grouted through the clay, with a submersible sized to yield and recovery on a well that carries a house and often livestock. Because there is no utility to fall back on, the pressure tank is sized generously and the pump circuit is wired so a generator can carry it when the power goes.
Lots are large and the 75-foot setback from the septic system is rarely the constraint; the wellhead goes where the ground can be graded away from it. The Nassau County health department permits it.
How the job runs
How a well is drilled here
Every new well is designed before it is drilled: purpose, demand, depth to the water that suits it, casing through the clay where the bore goes to the Floridan, and the setback from any septic system on the lot or next door. The permit is filed with the county office, or the City of Jacksonville in Duval, before the rig is booked. The bore is drilled, cased, grouted, developed until it runs clear and tested for yield. The pump, pitless adapter and pressure tank are sized to that yield and to the demand. The well is disinfected, the completion report is filed and a sample goes to a certified laboratory before anyone drinks from it.
Straight answers
Well Drilling questions from Callahan
How deep is a Callahan well?
Deep enough to open in the Floridan limestone, which is reached at a workable depth this far inland.
Can the well run on a generator?
If the circuit is wired for it with a transfer switch, yes, and on a rural supply well it should be.
