Please, I have a well in east-central Alabama that produces about 150 gpm, but the pump that we could afford to put in it only handles about 25 gpm. It is 300 feet deep, with 290 of those being solid granite. The water was tested (long story) in North Carolina, and they said that it was VERY GOOD water!
I contacted a water bottler , and the lady told me that they were only interested in wells that produced at least 300 gpm.
The lady at Smith Station Water Authority told me that they get all their water out of the Chattahoochee (river)!!
Would anyone be interested in my water?
Since no one is interested, apparently, in this water for bottling purposes, would anyone near Salem, Alabama, be interested in it for agricultural purposes. (That was why we drilled the well in the first place, but the water is so good, I thought it might make it as bottled water!)
  THANX!!

While, as a truck driver, on a trip back from Kentucky, someone on the CB said that the farmers there were begging for water. Wouldn't it be great if they could just come fill up their trucks and bring all that PURE WATER back to their farm!! WOW!! What would be a reasonable price?

As explained in the original post, this is VERY GOOD water, and as such, would TASTE VERY GOOD!! As stated previously, this water tested SO GOOD in North Carolina, the people who tested it COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT IT CAME FROM NORTH CAROLINA!! (It didn't; it came from Alabama!!)
If you are really interested, I may be reached at: bevernie@hotmail.com
THANX!!

Yes, we read your postings but we don't market our brands in Alabama. If your water was in Southern California, New York or near Houston we'd be interested. The cost of moving your water (no matter how wonderful it is) from Alabama to one of our major market would make it non-competitive in today's bottled water market. The cost per mile with current gas prices have made matters even worse. Your best bet is to drink and enjoy it at home and be glad you have great tap water. If you are a gambler, then put a million or more into creating a bottled water brand using your water and you might make a few dollars in a regional market. Good luck!

At $ .10 per gallon, would that make it more appealing?

10 cents a gallon is on the high end unless you are only buying a couple of gallons! I'm paying less than 2 cents per gallon FOB the source in Napa County, CA.

That's about how much my source in CA charges. The actual water is the cheapest part of the entire product... kinda funny.

With all the news and hype about the southeast being in a drought, it would seem that someone would be interested in my water! Smith's Water Authority' of Smith's Station, Alabama, has their main water line going within fifty feet of my well, but when I contacted them, the only response that I got was, "We get all our water out of the Chattahoochee (River)."!!
Who do I contact? Are we really in a drought? Who cares??

As was explained earlier, this is GREAT WATER!! It tastes WONDERFUL!! That's why I can't understand why NO ONE is (seemingly) interested! Am I talking to the wrong PEOPLE, or WHAT?
Steve, if you are interested, I may be reached at: 828-696-2112, or <bevernie@hotmail.com>, or 166 AZALEA WAY HENDERSONVILLE, NC 28792
The well is located in Salem, Alabama, three miles north of Crawford, in the east-central part of the state, about 10-12 miles west of Phenix City. There is EASY access for a tanker, if you desire to trasport the water by truck, but I do not have a loading dock or facilities to load it in barrels in a van trailer. THANX!! Ernie

Every body is of course interested in water. It has been said that the next world war would be for water. Fresh water availability is getting reduced day by day. So dude you are really lucky guy that you got in plenty.Conserve it and use it carefully.

GREETINGS!!
FINALLY, I have met someone who seems interested in my water for commercial use, but there seems to me a slight problem, and I would like some input and advice from some of you that are more knowledgeable about these things.
He has told me that the going price for my water would be $0.012 per gallon; is that a good price? Secondly, he said that it may be a year before he is ready to secure the water.
Any advice would be deeply appreciated!
THANX!!
Ernie
