I don't see any geysers 😲

I guess I'll need to leave some water running tonight...

And I'll probably have to wrap the exposed pipes 😳

WOW! Is this what happens when someone moves "to the country"? 😁

Where are the exposed pipes? I thought everythign was below ground. Is your house on a slab, or raised foundation?

We have exposed pipes from the top of the well...and leading out of the holding tank.

It sounds like an easy project to cover them. Maybe this will be your only day without water!

Have you not noticed that all my exposed well pipes are wrapped....You would have thought the old owners would have done it ?

Haven't had a problem with it in the past year...must be colder this year...so much for that global warming crap.

I insulated mine and wrapped them with heat tape, but it gets colder up here. I just have to remember to plug it in when I get worried. Also, keep an eye on the pressure switch for the well. It probably has a 1/4" tap onto the pipe. It freezes real easy. Ask me how I know. My well is in a little shed and I leave an old fashioned light bulb on when it gets really cold.
