Me and my brother pulled a deep well pump in GA. It was on à small hill too. It was 260 ft in the ground. We used 2 36" pipe wrenches to pull it. Unscrewing it as we went. Pumps weren't so expensive back then I think $350.

Jet pumps (surface pump) are for shallow wells only.

I thought that submersible pumps were only 30 or 40 ft below the water table in the well which around G'ville is around 20 ft or less.

Water table is around 160 feet down. Most of Alachua county is 20 feet or so to the water table, but there is a few hills here and there. One of my stores was about 10 feet above the water table.

My understanding was that shallow wells are more apt to pick up surface contaminants...??
