I am having the well guy come out and determine how deep the well is now. Find out where the water line/level is out and pull the pump depending on those 2 things. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks. I will let you know what the problem was and how they fixed it.

The well was 700 ft. Pump set at 640 ft. 0-23 overburden 23 bedrock 23-700 shale 670 water 4 gpm Grout 0-80 Bore Hole size 10 (Benseal) (Tremie Pipe) Casing 0-80, Size 6 5/8, material: steel

Thanks for your response. He did check the ground and as far as I know it was good. I am not sure what or if he checked the motor windings? What exactly are the motor windings and how do they check them? Also, if I have a lot of sediment would it be beneficial to allow the faucet at the...
