Published 2012

A water distribution system is needed to pump water out of the well to the surface and deliver it under pressure to the place where it will be used. A typical private water distribution system consists of a pump with a motor, and a pressure storage tank (Figure 1). The system also needs a control device, such as a pressure switch, in order to operate. Since temperatures can get very cold in Nebraska, the system must be designed to prevent the water from freezing in the distribution system.
