      lol i t hink he is right, you fucked. time to dig a new well. It's not like you need to wait for another rain and you will be good for 2 more weeks etc...

      The wells (at least in my area) go 100+ feet deep and hit the under ground streams and shit, someone esle can explain it better. but if your source dried up, thats it. Time to dig a new one and drill deeper most likely.

          My parents have a well and from my understanding you have a dig a new one once yours dries up.

                  If a drought is the cause of the dry well wait will fill it up somewhat if several wells are sucking from the same source that's a problem. To drill deeper could be the solution until all the neighbor say Go Fuck Yourself we'll drill even deeper. A well may fill some if let set but don't figure on filling a swimming pool or anything like that. As for the Party who the Hell is going to be drinking water.

                        Just what I was thinking. I was visiting my son a couple weeks ago, and he had his firetruck with him. I told him he should spray down my car, and he said that would not be a very good idea.

                        He let some of the water out of the tank, and I was very glad he had not done as I requested.

                        OTOH, the house I just bought has a well. Luckily, it rains there a lot, so I am guessing (hoping) that running dry won't be an issue.

                                        yes, check the easy stuff first.

                                        1. check the circuit breaker and make sure the well pump is getting power
                                        2. if getting power check the pressure tank in the basement or crawl space and note the pressure on the gauge, see if the gauge is cycling. most well pumps go off and on, filling the pressure tank which gives you water pressure at the tap.
                                        3. the pressure tank should have a valve on it---open it, if the well pump is cycling you will either hear the hiss of compressed air (meaning probable dry well) or get a flow of water---if you get water at the pressure tank you have a pipe blockage in the house.
                                        4. all areas have a rising and lowering water table. it is rare that a well goes dry by itself because the average seasonal water table is about the same on a yearly basis. there could be temporary extenuating circumstances that might lower the seasonal water table such as:

                                        farmers within one mile with deep well sucking water for field irrigation during a drought, new construction locally with someone filling a swimming pool, etc.

                                        so the situation can correct itself.

                                        new well with new pump and new pressure system might cost $2000-4000 usd depending on depth.

                                        good luck.

                                          Good suggestions, you can have it filled by water companies doing pools,but cut back on its use till we get rain. I am lucky (knock on wood) mine has never run dry. I have 16 feet of standing water in there, yet my neighbours accross the street always runs dry.

                                                you also might need another length of drop pipe unless it's a submersible well pump

                                                  damn, now you have me worried.. my well is 300 ft deep and never had any issues. hopfully it will remain that way.
