Everything has been working fine with the pump from the well which is about 50 feet across the yard under about three feet of snow.
This morning what happened (and am not sure if this is all connected), the power in one corner of the kitchen where the pump is located went off. Maybe I overloaded the system as had the microwave on, the toaster oven and a small electric fire hoping to keep the pipes warm under the sink.
Anyway, I manged with help from the electricity department over the phone to get the lights working there (two) and everything else, except the well pump. The pressure has gone right down and is not working.
What I am worried about, while waiting for the plumber to arrive sometime is that the boiler in the basement will stop working. Or is that connected to something else in a house? The one under the sink in the kitchen is small, the one in the basement is large and connected to a furnace. Should I be doing anything while I wait for the plumber.
Would much appreciate help in answering my questions and thanks very much.
