If we have any type of extended event, we will only run our generator to draw water from the well. By my calculations, we could make our propane last up to six months.

It will still be noisy when running though.

We are going to get a hand pump for our well. My worry is that the well is too deep for a hand pump. From what I’ve seen, hand pumps are only good to depths of 60 feet.

Here’s one that claims about 200 ft.
