hdexpert - sounds like you have an artisian well.

My neighbourhood is an older one, all well and septic and the water table is high. I have a sump pit, but it only fills a bit in the spring, when the snow melts. Apparently though, some neighbours have artisian wells - which means the well will constantly fill and hence requires constant evacuation.

Did the previous owner/estate agent mention this? I would ask them and get a concrete answer. If this is the case, I would definitely have a backup system and perhaps a water sensor alarm as well.
