Cloudy Water from Deep Drilled Well

Again just my guess…

Good points.
Normally I'd expect something 700 ft deep to store plenty of water in the vertical column, but if you (and neighbors?) have been irrigating more than normal, that could have an impact. Remote, but possible, is that there is construction in the area that involved blasting and cracked the bedrock..Testing might reveal oddities. I've used Granite State Analytrical. The do mail and have drop off locations. https://www.granitestateanalytical.com/
For awhile DES had rates set by the legilsature and they were artificially cheap which meant an artificial backlog. I think that has been resolved, but wherever you go get a firm grasp on their timeline.
Let us know what you learn, please.
