Can you unplug the pump or is it hardwired?? Is there a shut off valve at the pump? How about an electrical breaker??

The FIRST thing to do, is find the breaker that controls the well pump and flip it to OFF!!!
After that, you can evaluate what needs to be done; like shutting off a valve and then do the replacements necessary.

Good luck.
Hi, there should be a double pole breaker in your switchbox.....turn it off and the water will stop. DON:T DO THIS IF YOU ARE STANDING IN WATER. You might also have a disconnect out side near the well. GOOD LUCK with this. dp
Flipped the breaker to the well and the water is off. Plumber on the way. Thanks everyone!
