More and more people are moving to the state of Colorado and increasing the demand for water, while less and less water is available due to a sustained drought.
I wrote the blog post recently on our website (www.thedriller.com/blog) that spoke about thankfulness and how a thankful mindset supports an increased focus on safety. I want to expand on that here and take it in a slightly different direction.
To be a water well driller today, most states require you to have a commercial driver’s license (CDL) to drive the equipment and a state well driller’s license for the states that you drill in, as well as current continuing education classes.
I’m involved with a number of blogs and chat rooms on the Internet. Most
of them are drilling related, everything
from geotechnical to water wells,
directional drilling and oilfield.
It’s getting toward the end of the year and even though the fourth quarter is busy for many drilling contractors, things normally start to slow between Thanksgiving and the end of the year.
I failed to mention in my last column that the pitless adapter along with the submersible pump and the captive air tank have, in my opinion, been the three great advances in pump system technology in the last 60 years.
