Followup: I had someone come out and replace my well pump and starter circuit. I now have water again. $1800 is really going to cut into my gaming budget though.

That's pricey. If you watched them, you could probably do it yourself next time. My deep well is 100' down...takes me less than 2 hours and under $400 for a pump and all wear and tear parts from the local big box hardware store. Only "special" tool needed is a length of threaded pipe with a T and two small nipples at the top in case you accidentally drop it. Screw the pipe into pitless adapter, pull the cable to disconnect and yank the sucker out.

I did not watch them and I know I could have done it much cheaper but then I would have to take a day off work and, well, actually work anyway. Plus I have a wife and kids stuck at home without water. Labor wasn't that much but the pump was a bit pricey. They installed a heavy duty pump and had to fix the starter circuit as the capacitor belched out all of its electrolyte. My well is fairly shallow at only 60'.
