| Artesian Wells are generally deeper and fitted with submersible pumps and motors. With this type of well, a drilling rig is used to bore through the soil and rocks and into bedrock that exists beneath your property. Steel casing and drive-shoe are then installed into the surface of the bedrock to provide a watertight seal and prevent soil, rocks and dirty water from entering the borehole. Drilling into the bedrock resumes without casing until the borehole intersects with fractures that exist naturally in the bedrock. This factor determines how much water, if any, can be pumped from the ground.
