Re: What is wrong here? Yellowing leaves and midribs
A single pipe jet pump can only lift water about 25 ft. Then the suction-pipe/casing may have a hole allowing the ground water to be sucked into the well/pump flow. ... Or, as already noted that steel pipe is very shiny and has not likely been in the ground for 22 years. A possible large well casing exist, the top below the ground surface (not good), with a drop pipe that is seen in the photo. The casing has a corroded hole allowing ground water into the well; OR, the casing seal has broken allowing surface water to flow into the top of the well. ... The last would explain why the problem is more noticeable after large rains.
