About 20 feet away from the old well is a water trough for the livestock. I am not sure when it was built originally but about 15 years ago the plumbing rusted out and we replaced it and added a short half inch pvc line back over to the corner of the well box so a garden hose could be used down there.
I am not sure what happened first - the chicken or the egg - a collapse and leak or a leak that caused the colapse, but this is what we saw:
note how the steel gate is tilted
closer view of the outside of the well box and gate corner
and...
finally, THIS is what we see INSIDE the normally dark well (heh a dry well can have water in it if you drain several thousand gallons from a storage tank back into it!)
hmmm bit of a dilemma eh?
stay tuned, there is more
