How big of a site is needed?

A municipal water well needs a 100-ft x 100-ft control area, but the fenced yard can be smaller than that.  The well must also meet certain setbacks from other types of pipelines which limit where the well can be placed.  The well and associated equipment fit in a 1-car garage, but you need space to accommodate occasional well maintenance vehicles.
