What to Do When Your Well Runs Dry: A Guide to Temporary Water Solutions in Central Oregon
Living in Central Oregon’s high desert means dealing with seasonal droughts, fluctuating groundwater levels, and unexpected well issues. If your well runs dry, it can feel overwhelming, but don’t panic—there are temporary water solutions available to keep your household running while you sort out a long-term fix.
Step 1: Call a Well Driller or Pump Company
Your first step should be to contact a trusted well driller or pump professional. They’ll assess your well’s condition, determine if the water level has dropped temporarily or if you’re dealing with a more significant issue, and offer potential solutions such as deepening your well, hydro-fracturing, or installing a storage system.
Step 2: Arrange for a Temporary Water Supply
While waiting for a long-term solution, you’ll need a temporary water source to keep your home running. That’s where Bigfoot Water Delivery comes in! We offer bulk potable water deliveries straight to your property, ensuring you have clean water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and household use.
Step 3: Rent or Purchase a Temporary Water Storage Tank
To make water deliveries efficient, we recommend renting or purchasing a storage tank. Bigfoot Water Delivery offers 1,000- to 2,000-gallon rental tanks, and we can also help facilitate the purchase of larger tanks for long-term storage. We work closely with local suppliers to ensure you get a BPA-free, FDA-approved tank that’s safe for potable water use and suited for Central Oregon’s harsh weather conditions.
Step 4: Schedule Your Water Deliveries
