What you have is a 6 " drilled well. No idea of the depth but that is easy enough to determine. The pump is still in the well (three wires) those are directly attached at the pump. If the pump were removed they would not have left the wires behind. Those wires are taped to the pipe at three - six foot intervals.
There are a few tests you can do to determine static depth (water level) output and running depth.
On a 1' pipe your flow rate should be around 18 GPM if memory serves me.
It is important to know the specs on your well so you don't risk sunning the pump dry.
There is a formula for gallons per foot on a 6" well. Static depth is the water level when you are not pumping.
Total depth - static= total volume . 1.5 gallons per foot of depth.
500 ft total depth - 100 ft static depth = 400 ft of water x 1.5 gallons per foot = 600 gallons of water.
Pumping for one hour would pump 1080 gallons. This would require a min of 8 GPM to break even =1080gal.
