Too much rain causing well head to leak....

This is not really a garden discussion but not sure where to post. I live in Southeast Pa and we have had well over our average rainfall for the year. We reached our average in July, I think, and it just kept raining. This has caused my well head to leak for the better part of 3 months. We have been turning on the overflow in the basement for 2-3 hours a day sending hundreds if not thousands of gallons of fresh water literally down the drain. It finally stopped leaking after a relatively dry September but then we had 6 inches of snow and a couple of heavy rains in November and now it is worse than ever. No amount of running the overflow is helping and my yard is quickly becoming a mush pile out front.


Is this normal when you have so much rain? Is anyone else in my area experiencing this?? What can I do to alleviate this??
