Check your pump for ants. We had that happen once when ants got between the contacts.

It seems you just can't do anything when your out of water!!!!Wish you luck finding the problem.

What is that old saying~~~You don't miss the water until the well runs dry~~~~ Hope this is resolved quickly and in peace, as being without water is not a fun thing to experience.
Good luck and God bless.

We've also had problems with our well, it could be one of a lot of different things, some minor, some major, just be sure that the person you hire has a good reputation, our neighbor hired some guy to fix his pump and it turned out that after paying out the wazoo for a new pump to be replaced he found out that it was really a relay switch, no he didn't get any money back, but he said he learned a really important lesson, good luck

hope you got it fixed ASAP,am on the mains but get lots water cuts so fill up plastic 1 litre bottles and keep in dark garage------can use for washing/up and lavatory flushing; then have a large camping container I keep in an unused shower for drinking along with fresh bought water in bottles.

I grew up with a well and Daddy was always good at fixing it so we rarely had a problem. One time it went out on Sunday morning and the preacher's wife stopped by and told Daddy what a bad man he was for working on Sunday. He replied that he was doing it so his wife and children could go to church. She didn't answer him.

For the past twenty years we have lived in a house with a well and have had little trouble except when the electricity would go out. Then lightning struck the well and we were without water for several days. My husband brought water home from work for the necessities. The good part was that we got to eat out a lot for those few days.

I hope your Easter dinner went okay. With that many people coming, I might have asked the church for the loan of its dining hall. A late "Happy Easter" to you and your family.
