shared well mess (2025 Update)

OK I've got a situation that is along these lines but worse, my family moved into a house neighboring a man I've known my whole life. It's a shared well the person I bought it from sold the man I've known land to build his house and split a line over to his house for water. And the land that was sold to him is were the well head is, so years later my family buys the house and here's the situation the well head is on his land the pressure tank is in my crawl ( 4ft tall ) space electric to the pump is on my house meter. When we moved in an old man and old woman, and he would bring a few cows up from a lower field once or twice a year to finish them didn't use to much water . He told me when we moved in that the old guy I bought from took 100 a year for water usage, I thought kinda low but two old people and a few cows OK that's cool. Fast forward two years his wife dies he's there alone still no big deal on water we've lived there going on ten years now so around year 7 he remarried to a lady that farms goats for milk so know they have 100 goats (milk goats ) he raises pigs 6 to 10 at a time he's go chickens turkeys ducks pretty much all live stock but horses and he still pays 100 a year. I'll note over the years any problems have been split 50 50. A few months ago I get a electric bill that's 357. I'm like wtf, so I go to the crawl space and sure enough the pump is short cycling. So I track the leak back to the shutoff value at the well head. But before I found that I went to his house to find water standing by his barn I said that must be the leak that made my electric bill triple. He says no that's been a slow leak sense November the year prior. I'm like wtf we will call him Carlos. He said it doesn't leak enough to cycle that pump like that and I said but Carlos every bit of cycle time runs off my house it all matters to me.his wife comes out and I said hey how about we put the pump on its own meter because you guys have a full blow farm running now and I can't tell were I'm at as far as efficiency, BTW my family has installed the most efficient appliances when we have to replace anything over the years. He said no cost $30 a month alone just for the meter I said I'll gladly split at least I'll know where I'm standing and I also said I'll split the $15 a month for my part of the meter and I'll pay you $100 a year for the next 9 years and his wife laughed at me looked at me like I was crazy when I said that anyway it's Christmas time now
