I'm a bit confused here, you say 'use the water therein', but then say that
you intend to use the well as a drain for excess rainwater?
Where do the water meters come into the equation?
If you intend using it as a drain for excess rainwater then I can't see any
problems, after all, it would end up in the well anyway if you didn't use
butts to collect it.
If you need *more* water in sumer then you can use the water from the well,
it's on your land after all but I think you'll find it more of a strain than
switching the hosepipe on.
