Before doing any more digging or drilling, it sounds like you've made attempts already and so far, you haven't hit the water you need.
It's time to go old school and put some faith to old ways. .... Water Witching. If you are a "believer" it does work. If you don't "believe" it won't work.
I never disputed the "belief" in Water Witching, but never really believed it myself either. I'm a skeptic.
Then one day, my Father-in-law told me how to Water Witch with 2 wires. I watched him and was impressed. Everywhere on his property where the wires crossed, he said there was under ground ditching.
He had me try it. I was skeptical, but thought, Oh well, why not?
He told me how to hold the wires and I started walking slowly in the direction he told me to go. To my amazement, the wires DID cross and I stopped. He came up to me and said, Yep, you've got the "gift." He knew right where that drainage ditch was, I did not.
After that I read up on everything I could on "Water Witching" and found it works for a multitude of things. I did discover that my "gift" was locating under ground wires.
The true test was when we moved into our current house, 14 years ago. One of the first things I did was walk the property and marked all the underground wires. My electric lines are all under ground, so is the telephone. I was convinced I had them marked and was OK with that.
Fast forward a couple years later, and we had to have some "digging" done on the property, and of course, before the company would do the work, the Under Ground wire hunters had to come out and locate all the wires. They did, and their markings were identical to mine form a couple years earlier.
Bottom line. ..... If you haven't done it, try it before doing your next "dig". You just might hit water the next time!
