Installing a Well

[virgil]

Was hoping for a bit of advice from anyone who's had a well installed recently.  I'm planning to have a well drilled on a piece of property I'm buying for a hunting camp.  I've spoken with a site prep contractor who would take care of the excavation and the septic, and would subcontract the well drilling.  Am I bettor off contacting a well driller myself, or would you generally expect the site prep/excavation guy to coordinate the well.  Thanks.

we had a well drilled several years ago and dealt directly with the drilling company (Titan), I would think that any time you use a middleman you also pay them a fee to set things up with the drilling company, you very rarely get something for nothing......they did everything from the drilling, the electric hookup and the plumbing.

Dealt with driller, and he did all the work... middlemen are problems

just keep in mind the distance between the well and the septic,usually a 100'
