Well drilling in East Palatka between the shade houses
A fernery lot leaves little room for a rig, and the new bore is sited where the truck can stand, the shade cloth can stay up and the supply comes from below the ground the growers have worked for a century.

What changes in East Palatka
East Palatka's small holdings are crowded with shade houses, irrigation lines and packing sheds, and the first question on a new household bore is where a drill rig can physically set up without taking a fernery down. Call Flamingo walks the lot with the grower, picks the spot, and drills a cased Floridan well there so the household draws from beneath the shallow zone that decades of growing have loaded.
The completion test opens on nitrate because that is the number a family on this ground wants, and the Putnam County health department permits the household bore while the fernery's own large irrigation wells answer to the water management district.
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 East Palatka
Can a rig get onto a fernery lot?
Usually, with the spot agreed before the day. Shade cloth and irrigation lines are planned around, not through.
Is East Palatka well water safe with the ferneries nearby?
From a properly cased Floridan well below the shallow zone, generally yes. The test confirms it.
