artesian well found

I found a 2" pipe that had been closed off. I opened one of the old valves and water came out. I have since opened the pipe up and dropped a string down. It is about 200' deep. I want to attach a pump and use it for my watering of lawn and plants. It is a small lot (75x100. I already have a shallow well and irrigation system set up. I just want to convert to the artesian becase the shallow well has rust and stains.

My question is can I just run the pipe to my current pump or do I have to pump from where the well comes out of the ground? Will my regular pump be good enough to pump out of this well. I don't want to have to move all my valves and electrical so if I could just feed the water over that would be the easiest. Suggestions? Thank you Jesse
