I've never seen a well head leak before. Have any of you. I have a call in to the driller but thought I'd throw it at all of you too. Water is pouring out at, I would say 6 to 10 gallons per hour.

Not me. Could this be an artesian spring?

I have seen it often, mostly in the spring. I do not believe it is an issue. Let us know what well man says.

Steve, The well is halfway up a hill and there is no wetlands anywhere nearby if that's what you mean. The well head is at least 20 feet higfher than the garage slab and then another 100 or more feet to the bottom of the hill and 100 or more up to the top as well. Hell, they were renting donkeys to do the walk through

Steve,

I got it. I think it is California humor. Don't forget to mention the tiger salamander living at the base of the well head. :rolleyes:
