Yes, a private residential well can suddenly go dry due to severe prolonged drought conditions, excessive heavy groundwater pumping in your local agricultural or residential area, shifting underground aquifers, or structural damage to the well casing and screen. When the local water table drops below the intake depth of your well pump, the pump can no longer draw water, resulting in sputtering flow followed by a complete loss of water. Verification: Measure the water level inside the well casing or consult a professional well contractor to perform a flow test.
