The well we found on our land near Alamosa was blown out today. The well driller estimated it at 28 feet deep after it was cleaned out, and running about 15 gallons per minute at the bottom. As per his instructions, we put a bottle of bleach down the hole, and a cap on it to keep it clean. In a few days (when we get a pump) we will pump out all of the bleach water, let it refill and then have the water tested for potability. It looks like it is going to be a usable well, at the very least for garden irrigation.
This is good news indeed!
