We share a well with three other lots/homes. About 1100 ft. down and all good so far - water is excellent.

Some are concerned about grid power loss in possible emergency situation and are thinking about installing a power switch/generator setup to run the well pump, pressure systems, etc., with generator to be powered by propane. Thinking that a 10k peak generator would be needed.

If you have done this work or know it well, what would you install (the electrical equipment) and how much should we expect to spend for components and installation?

Good alternatives to the above?

All knowledgeable info will be appreciated - the sooner the better. Thanks.
