Why would our well water spurt out when first turning on a faucet?
We have well water at our house and for about the last week and a half when first turning on a faucet the water spurts out like there's air in the line. After a moment the water flows normally. We notice this mostly with faucets and showers but it also occurs when flushing toilets. By the way we live in Illinois and by coincidence there was a minor earthquake early in the morning of the day we first started noticing this, although we had another minor earthquake about two years ago and didn't have this problem. The well pump was replaced one year ago so we don't suspect the pump. Thank you!
