Water holding tank for those on a well?

It's hard to believe that I could have a lack of water in the PNWet, but I do.

We're on a shared well and are having a hard time keeping up with the demand. I wish I could blame the neighbor but it's just two 'older' people and they are rarely home. It's my 6-7 kids with their constant baths, showers, and bottle washing that's killing us. I need to add some secondary water storage or we're going to go crazy.

I'll be getting input from a pro too, but wanted to get an idea of what I was getting myself in to from others who've been there, and done that. Current well seems to be limited at about 9 gallons a minute before we start to hit the reserve.

Anyone have a secondary holding tank on your well? What is your current pump output and what does the tank hold? I was thinking 2-300 gallons would make a big difference.

Thoughts and suggestions?
