    Is it a bladder tank or a pressure tank? You mention both. But no matter,
    Sounds like the water table in the well has dropped down below the well point. You have several options here,
    1- Wait it out until the well replenishes itself **OR**
    2- get a well guy out there and lower the well point. Good luck, Tom

    1. Is this pump above ground or in the well?
    2. If above ground, have you checked prime?
