What is the cost of the well to the water

If you have your own land, then sooner or later there will be a desire to drill a well on it. After all, it is a guarantee of the constant availability of free and clean water in any quantity, which significantly increases comfort and economy of living on such a site.

And the first question that follows the appearance of desire is how much does drilling a well cost water? You can not approach the issue is not focusing on the upcoming costs. Of course, the exact amount will be known only at the end of all the work, but the approximate costs can be predicted in advance, knowing the factors shaping the price. This is what we will try to do in this article.

Pricing factors

How much does a water well cost? First of all it depends on the type of the well itself: to a sandy aquifer or limestone (see also the article Types of wells and their features).

Sand hole

In this embodiment, the cost will be much less, since the depth of drilling is relatively not deep, and it can be done with your own hands. That is, payment for the work of specialists can not be considered.

We take into account the following elements:

• The price of the pumping station, which can vary depending on the power of about 5000 p. and higher. Such equipment can be used due to the proximity of the water mirror to the surface, and it includes both a pump and a hydroaccumulator.

• Casing. The most economical to use for this purpose metal-plastic. The diameter should be at least 32 mm, so as not to hinder the possible pressure. The average cost per running meter 65 p.

Tip: it is recommended to buy a water pipe with a margin. As usually, when calculating, the angles and the foundation of a building are not fully taken into account. And to run to the store for an additional segment and then to drill it is absolutely ungrateful occupation.

• Caisson. Here the price can be the most diverse, from ten to one hundred thousand rubles, depending on the material and the size of the container. Stainless steel and aluminum are more expensive, plastic is cheaper. The least costly will be the installation of concrete rings, followed by concreting the bottom, but more laborious.

Tip: if you have a heated basement, then in order to save, you can use it to accommodate all the necessary equipment. Then the need to buy a caisson will disappear.

• Cap. The component that seals and protects the well from all kinds of debris and oxygen overload, which promotes corrosion processes. On sale you can find cheap plastic samples for 600 p., But it is better not to save in this case and purchase a reliable metal product worth about 3000 p.

• Also, you will need the power cable of the desired length, clamps and steel cable.

Now, having checked the prices of your store, you can roughly calculate how much a water well costs if you drill it to sandstone.

Artesian well

In this case, the following elements are the cost: a well for water with related equipment plus the work of specialists.

You should contact professionals for the following reasons:

• Complexity of work. Limestone can occur at a depth of three hundred meters, depending on the region. It is physically very difficult to drill such a distance; special equipment is required. In addition, a moraine may occur, for which the use of special boers is required.

• Accuracy Required. There is a detailed instruction on the observance of all technical rules for creating a mine. The slightest violation by amateurs of the drilling process will negate all the advantages of an artesian well.

The cost of drilling a well for water when calling specialists usually includes:

• Travel all the necessary equipment with equipment.

• The drilling of the mine itself.
• Installation of casing and production casing.
• Pumping dirty fluid.

The running meter of such works, for example, in the Moscow region costs an average of about 2000 p.

To the necessary maintenance equipment are added:

• Submersible pump. Since it has more power and height of the pressure column, it is necessary in case of such a large distance to the surface of the water. The average price hovers around 6000 p.

• Accumulator. It will be required to regulate the pressure in the plumbing system and protect it from water hammer. The unit with a volume of 35 liters costs 2,200 rubles, this volume is quite enough to serve a private house with several points of water intake.

Total

Now you understand how much water well drilling costs, and you can make approximate calculations for your site. This will allow you to plan your budget correctly. The main thing is to check the current prices of all components of the plumbing system and the cost of the work of qualified specialists (find out here what cable is needed for the well pump).
