Hi our water ran out last night and hasn't come back this has happened in the past but has returned,went to in the basement and the holding tank is empty,pump only comes on when I turn the breaker back then styes running so shut it off so won't brn out, any idea what this could be.

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?
