The spark isn't under water. The sparks are at the pressure switch which definately is NOT under water!

Pure speculation: a bubble of natural gas worked its way through the
karst acquifer, got into her well, the pump sparked and away it blew.
The puzzle is the oxygen source. Hm, h2O. Nah, the gas would have
risen through her well water to the air space above. Bingo and boom.
Nah, the spark would be under water. How to make the connection? Low
water table? The timing of gas and oxygen being in immediate proximity
is the issue.

You will of course keep us updated on what "they" determine.
