How deep is your well? How many hogs-read nasty stuff?

I think this exact subject came up on a thread just a few months ago. Check the archives. I recall there were lots of good answers.

well is a drilled well about 200 feet deep

In Minnesota, at least 50' if it's cased more than 50' into a confining layer - otherwise 100 feet for livestock. That's legally, just took it off my pesticide training materials.

The depth equates to filtering--20'..bad, 200'..very good. But really I think a phone call to the county health dept. will get you the guide lines to answer your question.
