Does anyone know why pitless adapters are not used on wells in the Piedmont (charlotte area) of NC? I've had 2 different drillers tell me they are not allowed. Doesn't make sense; it was 12 degrees here last night so is hardly a frost-free climate. Maybe they want to keep those fake-rock manufacturers in business, since you need to cover the exposed pipe out the top of the seal with something or risk a freeze up.
