wow. i just laid 1100' of 2" up from a well and set two hydrants for $7300. the guy i use with the excavator has a mid sized cat and he charges $90 hr. 8 k for 30' seems just a little on the high side. and yes i am fully insured and bonded and so is the digger. $2500 seems a little more realistic.

oh yeah we dropped in a 1 horse submersible pump, and a 1/2 horse jet in the house for a booster. prolly had 200' difference from the house to well. thought about running a wire from house to well for a starting relay so the pressure tank and switch would still be in the house, but that was going to come in $1000 higher than doing the booster pump.
