Is this a well?
Moved into this house last year this is in the corner of the property and looks like a well but I have no idea what a well looks like
I did attempt to measure it and my guess is about 40 feet deep

Then it's probably a well casing. To make it operational you'd need a drop pipe with foot valve and a pump of some kind. Since it's been uncapped - it's not to be trusted for human consumption!!! should be fine for irrigation.
You could probably get a well guy out there to give you an estimate on getting it operational, he'd also verify if it is indeed a well.

Someone I know did suggest that if it's a real well that I should add it to my irrigation system
just wondering out there if anyone has any idea ball park how that would cost. And if it's really worth it
Thanks everyone for your help

What's the diameter of the casing (pipe) ?
What's that unit sitting next to the hole ?
