A couple years ago I bought a house with well water. The well is about 80 feet behind the house - was drilled in 2001 when the house was built. I do not know how deep it is.
About 10 feet from the well, I found a 4" PVC pipe going straight down (see photo). The top is level with the ground, it is full of water, is not capped, and was covered over by grass.
I tried to probe for the bottom with a 10' pole, but didn't find it, so I fed a 100' garden hose down the hole. It seemed to go straight down with no resistance at all. So it seems I have a pipe with at least 100' of water in it.
What is it? Should I cap it?
