ABSTRACT:
A shallow well installation that can be quickly, easily and economically installed and sealed against surface contamination is provided by a continuous plastic pipe well casing extending from ground level to the foot of the well surrounded by a filtration aggregate such as #4 stone and which is sealed by plastic film and/or elastic concrete on top of the stone. The stone extends approximately 18 inches above the water table. A plastic pipe seal and lock are placed at the top of the well casing. A water supply pipe is provided to the house through the side wall of the plastic well casing and, a small plastic pipe is installed outside the well casing within the stone surrounding the plastic well casing extending to the foot for water treatment purposes. The entire well casing installation can be installed in a freshly dug hole or can be used to renovate an existing shallow well casing to upgrade the sanitary rating and to insure against further surface contamination.
