Here are my primary needs:

-- 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.

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.
