I woke up with no water in my house. I have a well and the well pump reads 60psi. I have checked the breaker and turned it on and off twice. The tank feels "empty" and when you turn the knob at the front of the tank no water comes out. Any suggestions on what I should check yet.

More details please! What type of tank? Small bladder tank or 40 gallon galvanized pressure tank? Check the power first. N Is there power to the control box? Turn the breaker off and open up the control box. Are the contacts in a closed position?
Could your pipes be frozen? If the gage reads 60 PSI then it sounds like the pump has pumped up to the cut off point and simply shut down. How cold did it get last night? Are your pipes exposed? Give me something to work with here, Back to you, Tom

I agree... not much help here so I have called a well company. Thanks for your response but I think this is over my head.
