Air in well water
Good point on the possibility of a broken line between the well and the house. You might check the likely line "run" area between the well and the house see if you find a soggy patch of ground, indicating a leaky pipe. Another method is to pump compressed air through the line and see if you can hear the hissing as it escapes at the break. Finally, if it is not too big a run, you can dig carefully along the line of the pipe and see if you find anything. In my case the well is about 130 yards from the house, running through heavy trees -- so none of the above really works at my place. If I had to bet, I would guess you are just suffering from an usually dry summer. You can always check the static water level in the well and see what is going on from that end, also. |
