Location and depth matter.
I had a well dug last year to 95 feet.
Well digger offered no guarantees that good water would be found.
I'd get a different well digger but only after checking credentials and
references. You might also consult the local natural resources water
department rep to see what they say about wells in your area. Also see
what the neighbors are doing. Their well depths and problems might give
you some ideas.
