That well had 40' of water in it at one time, now it's got 12.

NM isn't a great place for water but any location can be tough. My neighbor had to go down 1,200 feet to get 2.5 gpm. I went down 175, wells are crap shoots.
The irrigation well you're using isn't supplying anyone else, is it? Because there is no need for that kind of power in a shallow well supplying one or two houses.
Cisterns and shallow wells are easy to tap.
