Having drilled a few hundred wells in the north east and put in many pumps I thought I would answer your question. First, the wells here must have the casing end above the ground. Most of these drilled wells are equipped with a submersible water pump that exits the casing below ground[ usually 4 feet below the surface]. Second, the pump is installed from the top of the casing and is hung on a pipe fitting called a pitless adapter which has a fitting through the casing where the water is piped into the holding tank. The pitless adapter is designed in 2 pieces, one that is fastened to the top of the pipe above the pump and the other is fastened to the casing. When the pump and the pipe are lowered into the well the two pieces of the pitless adapter fit together with a water tight seal and the pump is held on by the pipe and the adapter. Simply, the pipe does not come out of the top of the well but 4 feet down. The pipe that you may see coming out of the well casing is the conduit for the electrical supply.
