AFTERMATH

I am delighted to have the well. The water has cleared up beautifully and I am getting ready to have it tested for quality. The rest of the clean-up will take some time. The "Ditch Witch" machine cut a long trench to carry pipes from the well to the house, destroying grass and generally wreaking havoc to the yard. The mud and gravel on the grass are another issue. That brown river in the photos below is mud, not water. The well drillers said it's best to wait until it dries out, when it can be cracked up and raked out. But, all in due time!
