Well, again

This summer we started noticing fine sand in our water. It was wearing out our hog waterer nipples and valves. We installed filters where we could and that helped overcome the problem. But this fall the sand increased and fine clay was also in the water and our filters were plugging way to often (not to mention the stained fixtures and the gray, white shirts). We determined that our well casing had a hole rusted through it. The men in the white trucks showed up to diagnose and then fix the problem. First we had to hoist the "pump house" off from over the well. They pulled the pump, cleaned the screen, installed a PVC sleeve inside of the old casing, inspected and then reinstalled the pump. It took us about nine hours start to finish, but now we are back in business with clear water. BTW, our well is 144 feet deep and was drilled in 1947. Four generations have enjoyed its water. It has never failed to provide us with plenty of water for all our needs.

My daughter supplied the well repairmen with fresh apple pie. That should score us some points and keep us on their good list.


But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Phillipians 4:19

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Isaiah 12:3
