Community well pump

by putting all them in parallel to one another outside of potential dangers, you very well might end up paying more or less than your share of powering the well. Shorter run will have less resistance and will carry more of the load. If one person's pressure switch is set a a low enough setting or their switch even failed in open positiuon they possibly seldom or even never send any power to the well yet they still havealways have water pressure. Could be other failure situations where you could be delivering more than just current to the well.

I never said it was a good idea, or that I would do it that way. I guessed how it was done considering he never said there was a well house with a single pressure tank. Its all assumptions based on a lack of pictures or information. Even shallow wells have pressure tanks, and this janky situation doesn't sound like a sophisticated system with flow switches, booster pumps, constant pressure pumps run on a VFD, etc. I picked the simplest system that I guessed that would work, regardless of safety or fairness.
