    Water pump
    We have a well and recently noticed our water pump is reading 60 and does not decrease when turning the pump off. Does this indicate a leak or something?

    It should hold pressure when off.

    If the gauge just stays at 60 all the time, then the gauge is bad. You can check it by using a tire gauge at the air valve at the top of the pressure tank. They should read about the same.
