If you decide to install a water pipe from your water well near the

you are adding water to the pond as you are aerating it.

Wow - you brought up some things I hadn't even thought of (TDS).
Thanks - you've given me alot more things to think on.

You should definitely contact you State Department for Natural Resources
(they should have a groundwater branch) for information on installing a
water well on your property. They can not only give you specific
information on the well installation, but may be able to provide you with
a
list of certified drillers in your area.

County Ag agent, too. I think most states have an agency in each
county, even the ones that appear to be quite urban.

The State agency responsible for regulating water well installations would
be the one to contact. An ag agency (U.S.D.A extension office) is only
going to help you (minimally) with water quality, not how the well should
be installed. Most likely, it would refer you to the state agency for
that.
