I live in the country and have a well. I have been noticing my water seems wetter than it used to. I decided to take the cover off my well and have a look. When I looked into the well, I was shocked. I expected to see a pump and pipes and whatever else is supposed to be in there. Instead I saw water almost to the top of the well. The well is supposed to be 370 feet deep and I can see water maybe 25 feet from the top. My well is flooded. No wonder the water is wetter. I live in Minnesota, so this flooding is not from the hurricanes, and we have not had any severe rain storms. I dont know what caused this flooding. I am afraid the water is going to ruin my pump and pipes. What can I do to solve this? Should I report this to the Red Cross or FEMA, and should I call my insurance company?
I shut off the water pump just to be safe. I hope someone can fix this soon because hauling bath and toilet water 14 miles from the city is alot of work.
