Why is the Well Not Working?

Might Not be Connected via Road

Manor Lords - Connect Buildings with Roads
For a Well to properly work and satisfy the needs of your citizens, it will need to be connected to your roads. If ever your Well isn't working, check first if it is properly connected to your town, or if the building that isn't getting water is connected via a road.

Do You Need Multiple Wells?

You only need one well per region to supply water and fulfill the needs of your Burgage Plots. However, it's not useless to have multiple Wells in case a fire breaks out in an area of your settlement that isn't close to one.

If a fire isn't put out immediately, the building will get destroyed. Normally, you'd be able to restore a building by selecting to rebuild the rubble, but if a fire isn't put out quickly enough, the entire building will burn down and disappear.

The resources and materials listed above are needed to construct the Well. Make sure you have enough of them when building.

Well Location Depends on Game Settings

Well Placement Settings

Underground Water

Unconstrained

During Game Setup, there's an option called Well Placement that changes where you're able to build Wells once you're in-game.

By default, the Well placement setting is set to Underground Water which only allows you to build Wells on areas that are Blue, but you can change it to Unconstrained so that you can place down Wells anywhere with no restrictions.

Multiple wells spread around is good for firefighting and minimizing distance families travel to get water. In my opinion it’s small enough to squeeze into every sector of your town

The well is useless. As long as you have 1 in a region, that is it. No need for any more.
