I am sure that rural people need no guidance in constructing outbuildings such as this. However, I was raised in a city and had a thing or two to learn (much of it the hard way). It is possible that others might find an account of my results useful. All of us want water that is clean and safe. In locations that experience cold winters it is also necessary to keep the well itself, the water pump and all of the pipes from freezing. If your system does freeze, it will of course do so in weather conditions that can make the job of dealing with the the problem quite difficult and unpleasant. If you are wondering why our well house is so tall this is the reason: if something inside it does freeze or break in bad weather I can get right into the building and work in greater comfort. It also occurred to me that I might use a kerosene heater in there temporarily if things got really bad. Other points to consider:
