מִי שֶׁיֶּשׁ לוֹ בוֹר לִפְנִים מִבֵּיתוֹ שֶׁל חֲבֵרוֹ, נִכְנָס בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁדֶּרֶךְ בְּנֵי אָדָם נִכְנָסִין וְיוֹצֵא בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁדֶּרֶךְ בְּנֵי אָדָם יוֹצְאִין, וְאֵינוֹ מַכְנִיס בְּהֶמְתּוֹ וּמַשְׁקָהּ מִבּוֹרוֹ, אֶלָּא מְמַלֵּא וּמַשְׁקָהּ מִבַּחוּץ, וְזֶה עוֹשֶׂה לוֹ פוֹתַחַת וְזֶה עוֹשֶׂה לוֹ פוֹתָחַת:

If one owns a well inside his neighbor's house (so that he must pass through the house to reach the well), he enters at a time when men are wont to enter, [i.e., in the daytime, so that he does not constrain his neighbor to arise at night], and he leaves when men are wont to leave. And he does not bring his animal in to give it to drink from his well; but he fills up (from his well) and gives it to drink outside. And this one makes a lock for himself, [so that the house owner not steal water from his well], and that one makes a lock for himself, [at the entrance to the well, so that the other (the well owner) will not be able to draw water without the house owner's knowledge and will not come to his house unless he is there. (This, to prevent infidelity.)]
