Stop cycles.
Pressure.
Storage level.
Electrical draw.
Time.
After three nights, I saw the pattern.
The pump was cycling between roughly two and four in the morning.
I did not use meaningful water during those hours.
Nobody did.The fourth night, I stayed awake.
At 1:55 a.m., I walked out with a flashlight.
The air was hot even after midnight.
Crickets.
No wind.
Pump quiet.
At 2:07, it started.
I walked toward the wellhead.
The ground beneath my boots vibrated faintly.
That was normal near the pump.
