Drilling for pure water

Solas8 · 2011-10-01 19:46:34

Hi, I live in Westport and recently had a well drilled. At 270 ft deep, 170ft below sea level we struck "gold" I need a framework to hold the pumping "station" needs to be minimum 3ft sq approx. it needs to be waterproof, and considering recent winters, well insulated. Has anyone ideas?

A quick job is to use a plastic coal bunker. Use one of the bigger size ones.
Stick insulation on the inside walls. Cut a hole in the floor for the well bore pipe.
