Well Pump

This is the well pump that provides water to the water system. It is located in the Well and is approximately 30ft below ground.


CRITICAL: If the well pump is to be disconnected from the line to the pump house. It is critical that well_overflow_valve is opened to prevent a vacuum on the upstream components.

Around 2016 the well pump was pulled out of the well for service. When it was returned to the well it was unable to return to its original depth of ~80 ft due to a partial well collapse. So it now sits inside the well casement somewhere around 30ft.

In June 2026 Tumwater Drilling and Pumps came to Yodelin to diagnose a perceived issue with the pump. They performed a flow test at the well into a bucket and calculated the flow to be ~26 gpm
