What changes in Middleburg
Middleburg is where the two trades most obviously belong on one truck. A new well here goes onto a lot that already has a drain field, and the bore has to stand 75 feet from every part of it. Where the field went in first the well has to fit around it; where the well is coming first, the field has to be planned to leave room. Call Flamingo draws one site plan with both on it.
The old shallow wells on jet pumps that lose prime in May are what most new bores replace, and the new one is cased through the clay into the Floridan, which is reached at a workable depth this far inland. The county health department in Green Cove Springs 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.
