Move the location of the well equipment

well

Our well is located under the giant metal sheet that is in the picture below. I don't like that it is in our driveway. Is there any way that I can move the "plumbing" over like 10 feet? I don't really know what is under the cover to be honest either (as far as equipment goes). I think there is a pump under it? Couldn't I just move the pump over and reconnect the pipes? Or is that not how the well can be set up.

NOTE: The well is about 280' deep. The pressure tank is inside.

It is likely there is a pressure tank in the hole also. Depending on the well depth their could also be a surface pump (shallow well) and there should be a local disconnect. It is possible to move everything But because there is a slab the cost is going to be higher. If you just don't like the cover you will still need the well head to be accessible but from the photo it could be ~1/3 the size. It would be a good idea to know what is in the hole.
