We have a submersible pump, so actually the well house 
only houses the pressure tank. I was recently wondering, 
in a hole this large, and assuming the flow was always 
good, would it be possible to install a second pressure 
tank (there's room in the well house) off the same pump or 
install a second pump/tank to be able to carry water to 
the far side of our property? We know drilling a second 
well over there would be expensive (not to mention 
risky...our neighbor--the one that cut down all the 
trees--just spent 3K trying to drill one in line with ours 
and got nothing).
