What changes in Hastings
Hastings has been farmed for a century, and the shallow groundwater carries that history. A new household well here is a Floridan well, cased and grouted through the clay so the water comes from beneath the agricultural zone, and the laboratory test at completion begins with nitrate because that is the number a lender and a family both want.
Large agricultural irrigation wells of six inches or more are permitted by the water management district directly; a household well or a small irrigation bore is permitted by the county health department. Call Flamingo drills the household and small irrigation wells and files with the right office.
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.
