    He's looking at that option as well.
    I had him looking at the county gis site tonight,, told him to look around on there and he might find some useful info.
    Also told him to talk with a couple local well drillers and see what they say .
    He knows a few water well drillers ,, he said he'd talk to them about it.
    He's out there in that oil, fracking business,,, I told him he's partly to blame for his problems,,:D:D,,

    From the sounds of it, a cistern would solve his problem and give him water when the pump is off.

    What isn't making sense is why they are limiting their usage unless, they got a leak. Now, we had a leak and couldn't find it. The electric bill took a major jump which told us something was wrong somewhere and the houses at the end of the waterline cisterns weren't getting a complete fill. We also tried limiting usage too but that didn't really help. It was fairly costly to find it and fix it. We had to use hydrogen gas to find the leak. Pretty damn cool! The guy tapped into the line, inserted the gas and had a sniffer to find it.

    I'll mention some of that to him and see what he can find out . Thanks for all the input.
    I told him to just go buy 10-20 acres ,, I'd build his house for him ,, sale me an acre or 2 somewhere on the secluded side and I'd build me a little smal house and a 2000+ sq ft garage ,, I'd be in heaven then .
