WorldWide Drilling Resource ® Through the Back Door! by Jim Kuebelbeck Letter from Homeowner For anyone who would read what I have to say... Having lived on this farm for 64 of my 82 years, I am determined to stay. During the past few years, an issue which has troubled me even more than my advanced age and a few health problems was the questionable lifespan of my well, which was hand dug more than a century ago. The periods of scant rainfall which occur occasionally in central Minnesota, my persistent interest in gardening, and the decreasing level of water in my well converged as one huge prob- lem, threatening my anticipation of a relatively comfortable retire- ment. My son who lives 65 miles away, was called upon repeatedly to check the depth of the water in my well. After a two-year expe- rience with some water, less water, and no water, my son agreed the stress of knowing that my water supply was problematic meant bold action had to be taken. My only option was to finally drill a new well. I obtained a list of well drilling contractors within 25 miles of my farm. Seeking advice from others (home builders, farmers who had increased their herds of livestock, and old-timers who could no longer rely on dug wells), I chose to sign a drilling contract. I felt certain I could trust them to do a good job and to work well with the excavators who would trench the water from the new well to my house. However, I was unsure about where to drill on my 160 acres. I desperately needed a good water supply. In the area where I live, holes drilled at random often come up dry or yield in- sufficient quantities of water. I had recently read an article in one of the local papers about a gentleman who had successfully located groundwater sup- plies (by his dowsing methods) in areas where all previous drilling efforts had proven unproductive. Thankfully, I had cut out and saved the article, and had my son read it. He then broached the subject of water dowsing with my drilling contractor. The gen- tleman admitted having an experienced water dowser choose a drilling site might certainly be advisable, especially in my area of Minnesota where dry holes are often drilled. Advised by other property owners and surprisingly by a number of other well drilling companies as well, I contacted the water dowser referenced in the news article. Enter Jim Kuebelbeck, the water dowser cited in the article. Jim and his wife Carol, who works with him, came out to my property and unceremoniously selected a drilling site reasonably near my buildings and garden. After the drill crew subsequently encountered a great water supply on their selected site, I learned many landowners had suffered more difficult circumstances than those which plagued me. I discovered many home- owners who failed to find adequate groundwater sources by drilling at random had spent large sums of money before availing themselves of the water locating ability of the Kuebelbecks. There are many others who were threatened by a lack of water on their property and still express gratitude to the Kuebelbecks. I think they had more than I to gain by hiring Jim and Carol to solve their very serious water problems...but for me the possibility of being forced by an inadequate water supply to vacate my gardens, to never plant another, to toss out all my collected seeds, and to relinquish the joy of colors close to home during the nonwinter months was unthinkable. A skeptic by nature, and a nonbeliever of man-made miracles, I wonder still (even when the tap in the kitchen sink, washing machine, and the garden hydrant are all at work) how Jim found the source of this underground water, and how Carol confidently marked the selected site. Mostly, I wonder why I was wise enough to believe someone could sense what lay 75 feet beneath the surface of my property! Jim Kuebelbeck is generous, giving thanks to a higher power for his uncanny talent. I give equally generous recognition to the Kuebelbecks for using their God- given talent to assist desperate seekers of adequate groundwater sources. ~ C.W.
