[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3868920, member: 26737"] It’s possible that you’ve discovered why there’s city water when you have an active well. You may be exceeding the recharge rate of the well—there may be plenty of water, but if your pump draws water out faster than the dirt and rock around it will allow to the water to flow back into the well, it’s not going to go, umm, well. My old boss’s place was like that. He had a well with water in it, but the recharge rate was too low to support a modern home, so it also had city water to feed the house. [/QUOTE]
