I was wondering if some wells have overflow pipes.
I found a flow of water coming out of some tile pipe about six feet off of the back corner of my house. I thought it was my gutter outlet that had gotten plugged, but since it's been running for days now with no rain, I can rule that out. After digging up two 14" sections of the tile pipe, I found a 1" PVC pipe end sticking out of the next section of pipe. That's the water's source.
I turned my well pump off for a few hours and closed the valve on the well side of my pressure tank with no change.
This pipe is putting out maybe 1qt. per minute and is about 20' away from and coming from the area of the well.
Is this normal? Should I be concerned? All I really know about my well is that it has a Goulds 4" pump.
Thanks all.
