W Anderson Ave, Waurika, Oklahoma

Two 1908 houses and the lot between them

922 is the main house, in pale yellow and a little grander. 910 is getting its wood siding back in sage. A shallow well on the empty lot between them will serve both.

Shared well

One shallow sand well, about 40–50 ft deep, on the empty lot. It's for irrigation first. The 1¼" HDPE mains to both houses are sized so either house can switch to well water later.

  • One pump and pressure tank at the well, feeding a three-branch manifold: 910, 922 and irrigation. The irrigation branch gets a backflow preventer.
  • To connect a house to the well, use a removable spool (recommended), an RP backflow assembly, or a full disconnect from city water. The city has to confirm which it accepts.
  • Next: a new quote from M&M at 40–50 ft, the city's well and backflow rules, and an easement or combined parcels.

The full well plan is in the 910 plan.
