Best Answer

Wells are actually electric pumps that supply the water pressure to a home's water. When a faucet is opened, the pressure drops, activating a sensor which starts the pump to maintain pressure. So only if there is no one inside (or out) using water and the pump is cycling is that a problem, and indicates a ruptured pipe.
