Terrible. I would rather be without electricity than water. In my case,
we have a well and when the electricity is out, everything is out. Go to
Scouting techniques. Hope your well devices have the problem and not the
actual well. Drilling can be no fun. Good luck.

How ironic that after this exchange yesterday, we woke up this morning 
to a non-operating well. No water. The well people will be here this 
afternoon, but until then we'll make do with some purchased water. 
No fun. As has been said, you never miss the water till the well runs 
dry.

Can't you use a hose with a shut-off instead of hauling? We have a very 
shallow well, too. I can't lift a full watering can, so I only carry water 
to the plants on the porch, but there's no danger in burning out the well 
pump with limited watering otherwise. I often use a slow drip in the 
landscape. It's continuous high volume watering that will burn out a pump. 
And usually only then if your pressure tank isn't working properly.
