Most wells around here are deep - mine is 450' deep - and the pumps are submerged in the well some height above the bottom - mine is at 400'. Each home/building has its own well, with a pressure tank. Most pumps are 220v units, there are some shallower well systems with 120v units.

There are wellheads but no faucets (freeze risk).

There is no water distribution system of any kind (no fire hydrants either).
