The well is fed by pipes under next door that run to the well and then the pipes run round the back of the house, under the road and down the hill via other tanks / wells. Ours fills and drains with rainfall, it will be gone in a couple of hours I would expect. It is not ground water levels so no need to declare the apocalypse yet. when I get round to dragging out some of the crap in it, we will have more reliable water levels. That would be after I get on the bloody roof to try (again) to stop it leaking in the same place again. I feckin hate getting on old roofs. 2016 it came up much higher. Was it ground water in 2016?

It has been on the jobs list for a while to remove the rubble in it to get a supply of free garden water. It isn't more that a yard across but it goes down at least 6 foot as far as I can tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
