Ideally you'd like to know the capacity of the well. If it's big enough, you
might do fine with just that well. The homeowner might still have records (I
have mine from 20 years ago), or the local Board of Health might have them.
Or the well driller might be able to tell you. The well may be able to
deliver more than the current pump can, in which case you may want to factor
in a new pump, rather than a new well.
