Well drilling in Neptune Beach on a lot with nowhere to put the setback
An irrigation bore has to stand 50 feet from every septic component on the lot and next door, and on a fifty-foot Neptune Beach lot that circle can swallow the yard.

What changes in Neptune Beach
The drilling question in Neptune Beach is not depth, it is location. A handful of streets here still carry septic tanks, and a new irrigation well has to keep 50 feet from all of them, including the neighbour's. Call Flamingo measures the lot before quoting, because the honest answer on some of them is that the well goes in one spot or does not go in.
Where a spot exists, the well is a small shallow bore with a jet pump feeding two or three zones, sized to the largest of them, with the backflow separation between the well and the utility supply that the code requires. It is permitted through the City of Jacksonville.
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 Neptune Beach
How close can a new well be to the neighbour's septic tank?
Not closer than 50 feet to any part of it for an irrigation well. The measurement is taken before the rig is booked.
Is there room on a Neptune Beach lot for a well at all?
Often yes, sometimes no. It depends on where the tanks on the street sit, and it is measured rather than guessed.
