Community well pump

It hadnt really occured to me to put a sub in hand dug well. Could toss a common sump pump in, remove the float and wire to pressure switch and plumb to tank.

I have a hand dug well, water level is about 3 feet below grade and it's about 10 feet deep. It's laid up block about 3 ft in diameter. I put a regular submersible in it.

Being lakefront community I could see this being a rather shallow well and possibly have five jet pumps in that pit drawing from same well?

Deep well with 5 submersible pumps wouldn't be too likely unless maybe it was at least a 12 inch well casing.

I would assume there is some yearly escrow that funds well maintenance and repairs. That is something you might want to check.

There is stuff I dont know but never seen setup with multiple real subs down a bore well. The big revolution was drives so they can run higher horsepower from rural single phase lines. Starts used to sock them right to the nuts and ours suggested a 10 hp limit.

That’s why I think it would be a bored well instead of drilled. Sounds like they have something funky going on, until the op gets onsite, we are just speculating.
