Great - thank you all! i also have a 5hp pump (checked today), but I am not sure how deep the well is. I talked with the past owner and he did say it can get to $200 or more per month if the water is really low and it has to run for several days non-stop, then maybe one or twice a week for 4-8 hours (depends on time of year).
However, that still seems rather high for not running even 1/8 of the time. Is there anything that could contribue to a higher electic bill for this pump? We are only 1 mile from a flood plain and 1.5 miles from the missouri river, so by bet is that this is not a deep well.
Thanks again for everything, I am going to be a full timer on this forum.
