We had not been to the lot for a couple days due to weather and schedules, but today I returned to see the progress. The HVAC contractor had informed us that drilling had gone so well, they were going to change from 5 x 150 foot wells to 4 x 200 foot wells. They claim this is greater efficiency, which would seem to make some sense as the total well depth is now 800 feet and that extra 50 feet is at depth.

As expected the area around the wells was a sandy, muddy mess. Fortunately everybody had kept their word to protect the conservancy, building up a dirt barrier around the perimeter of the lot. As the pictures show, there was runoff down the hill into our backyard, but nothing beyond the fence into the adjoining lot or the conservancy. (We had specifically discussed this during an earlier meeting at the lot with the drilling contractor.)

Without further ado, here are the pictures:
