    Using well water with no electricity
    We are on a well run by electricity. We lost power for about 2 hours today. Is it OK to continue to use what little water if left in the tank? Or should we stop all water usage until the power comes back on?

    You may continue to draw water out of the system until it's gone. When the power returns the pump will start back up and your pressure will return. Good luck, Tom
