                Probably need to report that to somebody.
                Be careful and make sure to don't blow yourself up.

                  Also do a taste test and make sure you didn't hit an old septic tank.

                        I have a professional licensed driller that is doing the work, and he is notifying the proper people. No unfortunately no mineral rights came with the property. I own 372 acres of undeveloped property, and wanted a well close to the center to for my livestock.

                          From Traces of Texas FB page

                          The Texas Quote of the Day:
                          "I wanted water, and they got me oil. I was mad, mad clean through. I said, '**** the oil. I want water.'"
                          ----- W.T. Waggoner, Electra, 1903, talking about the discovery of oil on the Waggoner Ranch and how he was actually upset before he realized how valuable that oil would come to be. It ended up making him fabulously wealthy. Isn't that like life, though? Looking for one thing, end up finding something much valuable.
