Cost for a well for well water on property

what did the local well installers say when you called them?

well water is wetter than city water
You're welcome

Without knowing the depth of the aquifer, I'd guess $10,000.

It's completely dependent upon how deep you have to drill. The pump and electricity shouldn't be too bad assuming electricity is accessible. Running electrical lines can be expensive as hell if you don't have it.

pretty big variable
OP I was an arse to you earlier and I apologize
Please provide some additional info (general location/county, elevation of property, general topography, etc) and there MAY be someone here who can guess at cost. Otherwise, surely the local folks there already know

With regard to well water, the actual quality of the water including dissolved minerals/etc is so variable and so site specific that it is hard to give you an idea of what to expect. Generally though your water would be harder than city water, pressure will depend on your pump set up, and you'll need to be aware that when your power goes out, your water goes out

Ways to mitigate that are a secondary storage tank with back up pump and A generator

No pump and a little south of Newnan. Asking here first because I don't want to hear a sales pitch from the companies, and I don't know much about it.

Is there a way to look up geological map aquifers online? I'd like to research a little so I can get some knowledge before calling around for estimates.

I ordered a geological survey for my area showing aquifer depths and locations. Different aquifers have different water qualities also. Unless you want to spend a lot of time and energy studying the aquifer situation in your area, you should talk to reputable well drillers in your area. You need to figure out how much water you need (GPM) and at what pressure. The well on my property has been working for 40 yrs so far.

5k-20k

According to where you are located. In my area we have wells at 70' feet that produce 2000 gal/min and when you go deeper you hit sulphur. All dependent on geology. Our water runs along the top of the Chattanooga shale.
