"You will never miss the water till the well goes dry" means that you can be so accustomed to something that you never appreciate it until it is gone.
People often take their parents or good health etc.so much for granted that they only value it after it has disappeared.

I think the expression is "you won't miss your water till the well runs dry." That means if you take something for granted, you won't miss it until it is no longer available. Then, you will miss it.

A trite colloquial phrase meaning that only when the water supply dries - up and you no longer have the water as a convenience do we miss it ; e.g. no electricity .
