Our pump is not working after a power outage.

We accidentally used some water while there was no power. We have been looking online for an hour, but still don’t know what to do to get our water back. We think we need to prime it, but we are not sure, and we cannot access the pump, it is several feet underground, although our well is much deeper. If someone knows what to do, please post!

If you have a well once you use the water in the pipes, which is what you accidently did, you will have no more water until the power comes back on. If you had city water it would be different, but having well water just sucks and thats the way it is. If the power came back on and you still have no water, then I don’t know call a well expert. I’ve never had that happen
