But you can see how things are here.
That little bit of Water down there is just a teaser. Those few inches are below the foot valve and not much use to us.
They did run a water line out though here, but because of our primitive "facilities" we can't really hook on. That would involve some major upgrades that aren't really justified at this point. And that is part of the reason for The Big Move.
But this is not the first time, or unexpected, and we have ways to deal with these things.
So when the pump could no longer suck up any water, The Fuzz sighed and cut it off. And when he got home from work, he loaded up the Old Water Barrel and made a water run.
He did want me to say, that if any of those soggy folks in Florida could send some of that rain, we'd be glad to have some.

sad to hear the well going dry again, hopefully we will get rain soon.
You can still keep your well.
All you need is one hose connection. Then you can fill up the water container without moving it.
Or you could run the hose to a tub, then put the pump intake pipe in the tub, simulating a full well.
Or you can get a pressure regulator and set it to whatever your well pump pressure is - eliminating the need to upgrade anything.
The well could still be used to water plants for free. Or even water your home for free in times of plenty.
