Can you get a hand pump for your well?
I my Preparedness Manual I have the following quote from a Sarajevo War Survivor:
“Living near a well with a manual pump is like being in Eden.”
I think so. I will be looking into it. The owner of the company we normally use for well problems was unwilling to consider it. He seemed to believe that the risk of damaging the existing wiring to the submersible pump was too great.
Having a way to get water on our property without electricity would considerably lengthen the amount of time we could keep the place habitable.
