What is the way to go about sharing a well with a neighbor?

Answer by  technogeek (6640)

The best way to make sure that there are no problems is to get an agreement in writing. If the rules are clearly spelled out and agreed to, then there should be no problems because each party will know exactly what they can and cannot do. That should keep the problems down.

Make sure there is enough water flow to support to households. When hooking up pumps, put seperate pumps to both houses. Make sure there is a kill switch accessible to both houses, incase someone is not home. Be sure to have a written agreement on how to deal with other issues, like water that goes bad.
