I have a dry well... pulling water for toilets from lake but what else to do?

NOTE: NOT on a sistern, but drilled well so pumping water in will not help -----

As expected the county / township is of no help and not sure that they could do anything anyways because of lack of rain. We are on a drilled well on a low producing aquifer. Should I bring in a well company to drill down further (which is thousands of $$$ that I don't have , ask my neighbours who share aquifer to reduce water as much as possible (they're probably in the same boat)? I have stopped laundry and dishwasher use, flushing toilets with lake water and generating water from a dehumidifier in the basement-- just want enough to keep a few dishes clean. my garden is a lost cause,..... I know many people are in this boat so just want to hear from others because this feels so surreal. ALSO --- please don't tell me to pump water into my well because that does not work for a drilled well, water always finds its lowest level.
