We have well water and after 4 years of use we all of a suddden have muddy water, mu husband attached a hose and let the water run for a day and it started to clear up, but now after a day od fairly clear water our water is full of dirt again. We also notied that there was a lot of tiny little air bubbles in the water as it was trying to clear up that made the water look cloudy, does anyone have a solution or answer to our muddy well water troubles?

Sounds like a broken drop pipe down in the well. Do you have a submersible pump?

Sounds like you well cavity caved in. Let water run and hope but you probably need to call the well man.

Sometimes if a drop pipe breaks down inside the well casing, it washes out against the casing when the pump is running. The spraying action stirs up stuff, and can make one think the well is caving in.

The only way to be sure is to pull the pump and see. Of course, I am assuming that it is a submersible pump.

Well yes, that would certainly stir things up.

Bottom line! Both Harold and Al agree that this isn't a repair for a homeowner.
Call in a well or pump man to access the situation and let you know what your up against. Good luck, Tom

Thanks guy's I'll let you know what the result is when we get the well man out here, whenever he can fit us in that is.
