Here in Florida (at my house), I can did an 8' hole and it starts filling up
with water! It's not uncommon to use 15' wells along the coast for
irrigation, otherwise a true deep well would be needed to stay out of the
salt.

Yowsas! I thought MN was supposed to be the land of 10,000 lakes?
What'dja do with all that water? :-) Around here in WNY, 40-60' seems to
be the norm, and the water will come up to within 10 feet of ground level
(or even closer). Maybe its the shale and the clay - I dunno; the water
table is pretty high here I guess.
I'm just glad I don't have to pay the well driller to go down that extra
350 feet. :-)
