We had water problems for years, always running dry. Then I measured the depth and found out the intake was 10' off the bottom. I lowered it 10' with 1" to spare on the bottom.
That was 25 years ago, and no water problems at all since.
You got lucky. That usually is a sign of a collapsing formation or plugging screen.
We pulled the submersible regularly, and saw no such problems. Just a lot of air in the water. It was after I measured the well depth that I came up with the idea to lower the pump by 10 feet.
