Faqs / Q: Would my irrigation or domestic well supply me water in cases of a disaster when there is no city water available?

Pitcher pump

Pitcher pump

A: Yes. We have many customers who choose to drill a well for back up for their city water. These wells can have many uses, such as irrigation.

In cases where the power is lost or is not available and a pump is required to pull the water out of the well, PWD can install a pitcher pump or hand pump(pictured to the right) to access the water without power.
