What is the least amount of water (gallons per minute) a family of 4
needs out of a well? I know you can't have too much. But what is the
least?

Might check with a local real estate agent. Or a mortgage company. I think
you need to have a certain flow to get a mortgage. 1/2 gallon per minute
gives 740 gallons per day. A thousand gallon storage tank can supply 5
gallons a minute for 200 minutes. To be happy I think 5 gallons per minute
is needed for home use.


Hi,
Our local code won't allow a house to be built on less than 5 GPM well
on the site.
