No water from well

Posted by Ken on September 15, 2002 at 09:33:04:
We are on a well that is about 100 ft deep which is the level of bedrock here. There is an extensive aquifer in this area and I haven't heard of any well on the street going dry though rainfall has been sparse this summer. I don't know the exact type of pump is in the well but I assume since there is a double circuit breaker it is 220V. All 20 of the houses on the street were done by the same firm (don't have their name) mostly all about 15 years ago. I know of one house that replaced their pump but they have a sprinkler system. How can I tell if the problem is with the pump itself, the tank, or the box at the bottom of the tank?
