Does our neighbor's new well affect ours?

his new well should not affect yours. it's so much deeper than your well and than his house well that it's in a different water pocket. while this same pocket may seep upwards into shallower pools, it's not going to drain the water table. water that deep is usually spring fed, which means it's continually replenished. as for the shallower well, they do in fact affect each other during periods of drought because they are much closer to the surface and tend to be replaced through seepage from rain rather than through springs. as long as you are not having problems with your water supply i wouldn't worry too much. just be glad you don't have his electric bill to pay running that well pump all the time!
