The home we bought 2 years ago in woodland has a very low output well. We are below 4 gallons per minute.
Last year I had a 1000 gallon tank installed.
I was able to get in contact with a man that was delivering water to homes.
Unfortunately he is retiring this year, and there isn't anybody I've found that is doing this.
I'm in such a bind, if we try to sell we obviously have to disclose the well problem and likely won't be able to make a sale.
I contacted a local well drilling company and they really don't want anything to do with us because they say there isn't any water up here.
Our neighbors all have low production wells, but not as bad.
So, any help would be great!

So the tank you have is simply for delivery?? Have you looked into making it a holding tank / cistern and putting the well pump on a timer to ever so very slowly keep the cistern filled???

May also look at collecting and filtering rain water to add to cistern. Could also just buy drinking water and use collected water for everything else.

All this is designed to take short high demand load off of well and build a reserve to draw from so existing well can continue to serve the household needs

Agreed with Toys. If you install an expansion/holding tank (bladder) it will increase your flow rate.

Are you measuring GPM at the faucet or at the well? Any filtration systems in line as well?

Sorry I wasn't very clear. We have a 1000 gallon holding tank. The well is on a timer, and the house is pressurized with a pressure tank. We have to buy water 4-6 times a year. The well basically went dry over the summer. But I had to buy water today too.

Holy crap man, that sucks. I can't offer any advice as to water delivery people, but wish you the best!

Was the well problem not disclosed to you when you bought?

We were told it was low production.
I didn't realize it was this bad.
My gripe is with the v.a. Inspectors. I'm a veteran, and you would think they would verify water volume.
This is our first home on a well (only 2nd home ever), so I guess I was naive in trusting and not knowing the questions to ask.

Gotcha. I'm sorry you have to deal with a crappy situation. Best of luck in finding a solution. The already proposed rainwater collection may help quite a bit.

Ok, on to the next options. Sounds like your running dry on delivery options .......

Do you have a truck or access to one?? Maybe think about getting your own portable tank and be less dependant on others. Surplus water buffalo tank or other trailer mounted tank.And then buddy up with local municipality, fire dept., private company or individual that may be able to fill your tank at thier convenience. Think local farmer or neighbor with lots of water

Sounds like your gonna have to make some investments or continue to hope this service can be found. Depending on your rate of use another big tank may be the answer along with rainwater collection and maybe backing off the well timer in the drier months and hope the added volume bridges the gap

I personally prefer to be as independent as possible and if an investment up front pencils out long term then it's a winner

Any super close neighbors have a great supply that could piped at a very slow rate to subsidize what you have??? Maybe go to the county and look at well logs and see which neighbors or folks in the area might be willing to help you out and then heap lavish gifts upon them

what drill company did you go thru?

I'll Pm you with another company when i remember the name

We contacted McGee in Kelso. I got the contact info of a local company here in woodland. I'm going to call them this week.

I have a similar situation. my well went dry and a company came out and drilled it deeper (600ft) to a tune of $24,000. Still ended up with nothing.

I now use a large flatbed truck and 4 potable water totes to haul water from the city of monroe to fill my holding tank. if you were closer, I'd help ya out.

I have remote property in N. Idaho with a shared low volume well, 2 houses on 20 acres.
Good friend lives there year round, vacation property for me. 2-3 times a year.
Set up the plumbing for fresh water and grey water
Grey water for the toilets, rinse sinks, irrigation and watering the animals.
Fresh (well) water for wash sinks, dish washer and shower.
We both still buy drinking and cooking water in 5 gal jugs for Home Deopot or Walmart
Grey water: we picked up an old forest service water tanker, at auction, for $1500
It holds 2500~2800 gallons and the forest service lets us(mostly him) fill it out of a near by lake,
On the agreement that we keep it full in case of fire.
Before the truck he used to put 6- 55 gal drums on a utility trailer and back it down the boat ramp,
Then park the trailer at the top of the hill and gravity feed the grey side.
Works good if you can easily re plumb your house to a dual system.
