I'm used to 4 inch wells and submersible pumps as well. Up here in the Bend everybody has topside pumps on I think 2 inch wells. Don't know why but it sure is a lot easier to work on or change out the pump. Could Cad just change over to a topside pump when it's time..? I'm thinkin a 4 inch well and submersible is for high volume and a 2 inch and surface mount pump is Residential.. 2 inch should work fine. Nope it won't work at all. The depth that water can pe pulled (sucked) up is very limited. The way around that is to drive a large (usually 4" or more") pipe down below the water table and then lower a pump down the inside of the bigger pipe until it's submersed under the water in the larger pipe. The pump then is pushing the water up, instead of using a vacuum to suck it up. Jet pumps are another way that works on the same principle but a little different. Turbine pumps also are used to pump water up, and are usually used in places that need lots of water.

2 dudes, 2 wrenches can pull PVC. 2 dudes , 2 wrenches ain’t pulling 200 ft of galvanized pipe I've helped pull a number of them with just two of us and an A frame with a chain hoist on it. I have to admit that was about 30-40 years ago, though.
