Water well problems and tenants

[Kyle D.]

I have a few properties that run on well water. No water bill for the tenant is great but being responsible for pump and well to operate properly could be stressful. Water pump could stop working anytime, nights and weekends.

Recently, I had a problem with a newly rented property. While doing laundry and showers, tenant would run out of water or pressure would get very low and pump would need to be primed. I tended to the problem immediately. I changed the pump, pressure tank and a few other repairs. I eventually brought in a professional. He says tenant needs to space out high or excessive use.

Has anybody had a problem like this? What may be excessive use to me may be normal to someone coming from county or city water usage.
