Anybody have recent experience having a well drilled and pump installed? I realize this will vary much based on location and depth, etc. but would like to know the ballpark. Does that run $700? $7000?
Same deal for a septic tank. Once again it is understood this will depend on local drainage, number of bedrooms etc but I am curious of order of magnatude.
I am looking at bare properties for a minimal cabin and need to know what allowance to figure for putting these things in.
I had to replace the pump and the pipe in an existing well, and it was 2200.00. The well depth was 370 feet. Like you said it depends.
So, generally I would like to have about 7K or so budgeted to install both in my area. Again it depends on the septic codes and soil etc.
For some camps around here, they don't use a septic field, just a holding tank, that must be pumped (by law) on an annual basis. Other guys rent a porta jon for a month.

Thank you
for your septic are you allowed to have drain fields or a sand mound. a sand mound will cost a lot more then a drain field. you are looking around 10K for a drain field and about 15K for a sand mound
My 100' well was drilled in April, 2005. They installed an Aermotor pump, Fiberwound Signature 2000 tank, did backhoe work from well to house (50') and installed the pump control box. Total cost was $3300.
Well $1500 to show up then $100 a foot drilled plus equipment
I thought about $10.00 a foot plus a base charge and other equipment charges , (ie; pump, tank etc.), was the going rate in Georgia. I would love to put one in on my place but it's not one of my better half's priorities.

I have also seen it at $2500 to show up and $10 / foot
Just had my well pump burn out in May and for them to replace the pump and also change from pipe to PVC and run new wire down (120' deep), it was $1400.

200' well, 2 hp pump, tank, wiring and everything else = $5k. Septic system is aerobic and also ran about $5k - both in no-rock clay areas of S. Texas.
Well flow rate. If you find a deep well is just too costly for a cabin and you can get a low flow well 1 gpm or so at a shallow depth you might look into a 200 gallon plastic holding tank.
Rig you well pump on a float switch to keep the tank full and a booster pressure activated pump (available from marine dealers) for you fixtures.
I designed one for a friend in Aspen utilizing a 500 gallon tank and he installed it in his house there where water supply was only about a 1 gpm. It provided plenty of water for several people staying at the house. Running 8 hours overnight it stored up 480 gallons.
