Based on your added responses it sounds like you have a rather shallow well - of which I know very little about when it comes to repairing shallow wells.
On deeper wells (80' to 100' type and pitless in type): I do know a quality well driller can sometimes clean and rehabilitate an old well before simply drilling a new one. Neighbor near me was having issues with their pitless well and the driller cleaned the well and did the "last resort" trick where the driller takes the drilling rig truck and cuts a slot in in the existing well casing pipe every few feet near the bottom which allows the casing to fill the well from alternate source veins. (I believe that you have to have a steel casing way down in the ground instead of plastic for this "last resort" trick to work since pastic might shatter when they try to slot it with their wedge tool - but do not hold me to it).
Still cost a few hundred dollars to have this done but much cheaper than having an entirely new well drilled and plumbed up in comparison which could be in the thousands of dollars depending on depth and distance from house.

There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
