Well drilling - private house

    we have had our well drilled by a reputable company from the midlands

    it’s coming in at 12g/hr at a depth of 300ft, which is just workable for a standard house
    however our plasterers have now gone dry twice in last week when using the water for plastering, which has made us very worried

    we will have an air to water system and normal usage of water for a standard 4 bed house.

    the drilling company didn’t Devine it, they told us there is no science to it as it doesn’t represent what is going on in the rock etc. they instead drill to the best location for the site.they are 30 years in the business so hard to go against them

    We since got someone local to Devine it as they have said it’s three feet away from where it should be.

    What should I do?
    should we re-drill at three foot away?
    should we consider blasting the well

    Or should we leave it all as is. Not sure if we should be worried or not.
    the company doing the pumps for us are saying it will be fine for a normal household, especially with storage tank and water harvesting


    note: we are going to do water harvesting and also put a large storage unit in the shed.
