Isn’t there some system that one can run with a well where there’s an elevated tank, and the pump just fills the tank and then it’s gravity that provides the pressure? Kinda like a one-house water tower. I was looking at those for solar powered houses, to deal with intermittent power, way to shift time of energy use. But I’d think that it’d also work for outages.
They do talk about having a “booster pump” to boost pressure if the tank can’t be located high enough. I imagine that that wouldn’t work in an outage, so probably water pressure would be low if one doesn’t have the geography.
