This afternoon my wife went to turn on kitchen faucet, and no water !
I then went into the bath-room off kitchen and turned on water, with same results.

First thought, was the circuit-breaker fuse to the pump triggered for some reason ? Checked fuse breaker and all looked ok, but reset anyway.
Tried faucet again, but still no water.

Next, checked the pressure to the water ‘holding tank’,
it was at zero pounds pressure.

So now I’m think I may have one of two problems here:
1. The holding tank is dead and can’t hold air. OR
2. Pump in the well has died
Holding tank, pump and Well are original, 16 years old

Thoughts on what the underlying issue is ?
Recommendations for pump service ?
(I’m in Gilford, and know Gilford Well services this area, but would like other recommendations also)

In the mean time I'm lugging jugs of water to bath-room to flush toilets.
Wife not happy !

Thanks !
