So thursday morning the motor over east was shut off because there was no pressure from the gas well. Then I had considerable trouble getting the sprinkler to pressure up because the water well was pumping air. Then one of the sprinkler towers quit running.

Good news: we have enough room to simply drop the water pump 60 feet. All they have to do is pull the pump and add some pipe.

Bad news: All they had to do to fix the gas well was to pull the pump and replace it with a new one. Unfortunately they broke something while pulling the pump and might now be forced to cap the well.
