# Finish the well. Once the well is drilled, casing is inserted to prevent the water from wearing away and being contaminated by the sides of the well. This casing is usually narrower in diameter than the well hole itself and sealed in place with a grouting material, commonly either clay or concrete.A bag to filter out sand and gravel are inserted in the casing, then the well is capped with a sanitary seal and, unless the water is already under pressure, a pump is attached to bring the water to the surface. | # Finish the well.
