They might have had a flow problem - too few gallons per minute. Unusual set up, I've only see it twice, but I don't see anything wrong as long as you have both well caps/heads accessible.

I built one that had two wells and still had recovery issues. We ended up with a 600 gallon holding tank and a timer arrangement with a high/low float override.

It's very common in an area of my county where the availability of ground water is very poor. At a depth where water in plentiful the water is too salty to use. The usable water is very shallow, about 20 or 30 feet deep, but it is basically surface runoff.
In order to get an adequate volume they have to drill two shallow wells separated from each other at different ends of the property.
