The use of this material will give an estimate of the well and pump costs for projects requiring a given capacity. This is intended only as an instrument for establishing orders of magnitude as a basis for comparisons, and of course does not substitute for detailed engineering studies. Well cost data were analyzed for three categories according to the aquifer tapped: sand and gravel, shallow bedrock, and deep sandstone. In the sand and gravel category, tubular and gravel packed wells finished in the glacial materials above bedrock were considered separately.
