Freddie, here is a n excerpt courtesy of the American geological survey, I hope it helps with the aquifer issue.
“ A confined aquifer is an aquifer below the land surface that is saturated with water. Layers of impermeable material are both above and below the aquifer, causing it to be under pressure so that when the aquifer is penetrated by a well, the water will rise above the top of the aquifer”.
By its very nature it’s confined. Once emptied only minor seepage will leak back. Short of a catastrophic mine collapse it just needs pumping dry.
