    Can 2 homes share one well?
    Please help me with this! I built a minihome next to my 185 year old homestead. The well is fantastic at the old house (80 plus feet deep of pure, clean good water); the water at the minihome is VERY poor-full of minerals and continually discolours. Can I run a line from one well to the other? We share a driveway!

    Local codes may not allow it but it does take place all over the country. I have lived in places where 2 homes shared 1 well, 5 homes shared 1 well and an entire square block shared a well.

    Might want to add a second pressure tank, or replace the old one with a larger tank, to have a higher reserve.
