No real norm for wells anywhere in the North east, my neighbor is at 90 feet, and I'm 400, and I have a cistern well that is only 20 (but is 500' from the power).

A lot can also depend on type of well, type of pump. 220v submersibles can be made smaller and still have the same power ... so they can fit down deeper, narrower well shafts. Jet pumps and the like are easier to make 120v as they usually are lower in power and size isn't a consideration.

Wish I had a 120v pump, would make life a lot easier, but just not feasible in my case. Although I do enjoy the 10,000 year old water coming out of 400' of granite.
