Asking neighbors is helpful, but it might not be a reliable methodology; my neighbor to the north (500' away), has a well that is ~400' deep IIRC and he has to drop his pump more because his water level is falling. My neighbor to the east (also about 500' away) has an even deeper well. My well is 120' deep and the water level was at 60' with the pump at 80' when it was drilled - I have had no problems, but previous owners were two people, and before them a single person, and I live alone - so I don't use much water. I believe I must be on a different aquifer than my neighbors - I don't know why - just luck I guess.Two ways, get a Water Witcher to say "dig here" and drill until you hit water. Or you can pay big bucks and get a seismic survey done. Third way, ask your neighbors how deep their wells are.
Planning on putting in a well point+1 for talking to a couple of well drillers. If you can find an outfit that's been drilling in your area for 20 or 30 years, they'll know if the table is dropping.
Are you using an auger, a wellpoint, or something else?
I wish.Tac, send some of that over here to the west coast.
We have no problems figuring out where OUR water table is - most of this part of Cambridgeshire is either just at, or sometimes below, mean sea level.

These 'workmen's cottages' are usually six feet above the road which is hidden underwater....the footbridge you can see in the distance is usually at least ten feet above the little riverette.
This was nearby St Ives on the same day.........

Interesting data. Doesn't quite match the details I recall for my property (maybe I did not pay attention), but interesting. My SWL is what I recall (85', found water at 145') but the drill depth is deeper by about 2X (245' vs the 120' I recall). Tested GPM is 12 GPM. It seems they may have went deeper to see if they could get better flow? I've only ever tested for a few minutes, which isn't valid, but is ok as the only time I use a lot of water is when I use the pressure washer and that is only about 3 GPM.
