A water well on my propery has not been used in 15 years due to local water supply. Supposedly neighbors in the same area use their wells for irragation, and other non-potable uses. But mine pumps dry in 30 to 45 minutes. Is it possiable my well has dryed up due to lack of use? Can the well be renewed without major expenses?

The well is probably no longer in an active aquafer. The water table has gone below the supply pipes length and cannot be pumped upwards. I had this problem and had to have a new well drilled to 20' deeper.

Could have been a poor well, but more likely the casing has collapsed, so it does not allow the ground water to seep in. You can have a well digging company come in and refurbish it, or have a new one dug, whichever is cheaper.
