How do I know if my well is dry or if my pump is bad?

• <div><p>Signs that your well is dry include a decrease in water pressure, strange odors coming from faucets, cloudy, bubbly, or discolored water, and water that’s warmer than normal. Signs that your well pump is bad are similar, but you may also notice higher-than-average electric bills, strange clicking sounds, and faucets that spit or sputter.</p></div>

What are the costs associated with community wells?

• <div><p>The costs depend on whether you are buying into an existing well or starting from scratch. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-well-drilling-cost.htm">well drilling cost</a> is between <b>$25 and $60 per foot</b>. The average cost to repair a well is between <b>$350 and $1500</b>. If you have a shared agreement and a community association, there will be additional legal and administrative fees. </p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of a well pump?

• <div><p>Most submersible well pumps last eight to 15 years, depending on the quality, type, and how well they&rsquo;re maintained. Lower-quality submersible pumps that are poorly maintained will not last very long, but higher-quality pumps can last 15 to 25 years (or even longer). Jet pumps last eight to 10 years.</p></div>

Q: How far from the bottom of the well should a submersible pump be?

• <div><p>A submersible pump should be at least 10 feet from the bottom of the well to minimize the risk of the pump drawing debris into the well water. Submersible pumps work best for wells that are 25 feet deep or less. If you have a deeper well, choose a jet pump instead of a submersible model.</p></div>

Q: Can I oversize a well pressure tank?

• <div><p>Oversizing a well pressure tank won&rsquo;t hurt your well system. Larger tanks result in longer and slower pump cycles and consequently fewer startups and longer runtimes, which means the tank may have better longevity. The only drawback to oversizing is efficiency since larger tanks tend to cost more and take up more space.</p></div>
