Well about a week and a half ago my neighbors pump went out. Hubby told them what they would need to fix it and to wait till he got back from doc's, because he was having trouble breathing. Well they tried to fix it themselves and ended up dropping some pipe thing or worse down to the bottom of the well. So they were suppose to have someone come out and fix it in a few days, so we hooked up our hose to their house so they could have water. Their pump bladder still was holding air... what ever that means... Well, so many days go by and nothing, so I ask them how it's going. Said the guy that can fix it is on another job. OK, so it will be the end of the week. Find out the guy isn't even a well company, but a person who use to work for one but he and his brother do it together. So I wait some more, then they have people from their church come over and try to do it instead of paying a company. Well, it's been a week and a half of using our water, nothing is fixed, they don't want to spend the money on a real well company and I have a realtor coming the end of the week to list our house for sale. I told them it was long enough and we needed to shut it off before it blows our pump. I feel bad, as I like these people, but they are collectors and spend a lot of money on "stuff"- house filled to ceiling, garage and a huge metal building. They have a son who is in his 40's that lives there. Yet they don't want to spend money on a well person. I know times are tight, but I can't afford to buy another pump since this one is 5 months old. I told them they can come get water, but I was just tired of our pump running and running especially when they forget to turn off the hose when priming their pump while they "fix" it. I still feel horrible thou....
