This drought is massive

[garyNconcord]

My moms house has a well and she went deep. I'm thinking 600+ feet due to her being on top of a hill and the area is made up of a lot of shale. Smells and tastes like clay. I can't drink it even when she puts it though her zero water filter.

She used to have a spring box but it got overgrown and lost and it dried up.

You just brought back a memory. My great grandmother had a spring that emptied into the partially buried concrete pipe that was on its end and stayed full to the top. A well pump sat on a couple of 2 x 6's across the top and pumped to a pressure tank. Worked like a charm, and the best water you ever drank.
