Well drilling in Vilano Beach where the survey decides everything

What changes in Vilano Beach
Two questions decide whether a well can be drilled on a Vilano lot, and neither is about the rig. The first is whether a point exists that is 50 feet from every septic tank and drain field on the lot and adjoining it, because many of the older houses are still on tanks. The second is whether the shallow zone at that point is fresh, because close to the water it is brackish.
Where both answers are yes, the bore is drilled inside the freshwater lens, equipped for salt air, and permitted through the county health department. Where either is no, Call Flamingo says so before anyone spends money.
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 Vilano Beach
Can a well be drilled on a Vilano lot?
Only where the setback and the salinity both allow it, and both are checked before a quote.
What if the shallow zone is brackish?
A deeper bore may reach fresh water, or the lot may not support a well. The test says which.
