Pump house design #878076

Asked July 20, 2024, 11:06 PM EDT

Do you have any resources for pump house designs? Here are my primary needs: -- protect from freezing weather -- be able to run with a generator if there's a power outage. I need some ideas for building a pump house/ well house. Water is pumped with a submersible pump, but sometimes the well head freezes in the winter when the temps get into the single digits. Additionally, I want to set it up so that a generator can be easily hooked up to the pump in the event of a power outage... especially important if the power outage is due to a fire.

Expert Response

Hi Rebecca, 
Unfortunately, we do not have OSU Extension designs for agricultural buildings, and can't give much advice on plumbing or electrical work. My recommendation would be to seek advice from a qualified plumber, electrician, and/or general contractor.

Sorry not to be more help.
