   It's done with the help of what is known as a pitless adapter.  When the   
   well is initially installed this two part piece gets placed and screwed   
   onto the casing after drilling a hole for it.  The well pipe slides down   
   onto this and locks in place.  No digging unless the adapter has rotted   
   out and needs replacing.
