    Water shut off to the house for days. Should I shut the gas off to the water heater?

    The County shut the water off to a customer's house a few days ago and it looks like it might be a week of more before we get it turned back on. Should I shut the gas off to the water heater until we get water again?

The original pump was 32 years old and still working but I was getting the well pipe banging in the basement so I figured it was the pump check valve.

    How deep to set a submersible pump?

    Question: Should a submersible pump be set in the well casing or can it go deeper into the bore hole? My well is 105 deep', the casing is 95' leaving 10' uncased at the bottom.
