We only have well water at our house. There have been two wells that have gone dry in the neighbor hood this past year. Also the neighbor down the street tried to fill his pool from the well and killed the pump.

I called a well drilling company in the area and they advised against it. The estimated for a house of 4 we consume around a max of 400 gallons per day. So they said we would pump more in two / three days than we would in two months normally. Said pump is not setup to run that constant and we could severely dent our water table.

I guess I am just not willing to risk my well to fill the pool.
