When you have city water hooked up pump won't run because pressure switch keeps it off. try putting water in tank and shutting off water from city. open a tap and pump shoud come on they are made to run even with out water for quite awhile....

Pump is mostly likely hidden behind a panel in a cabinet.
Pumps can be run dry with no harm (normally)
Pump has a fuse right at the pump.
Do you have enough water in the tank to pick up a prime ? Is the Hw tank already full ? Pump will fill Hw tank first before you get water at taps.

You'll have to find pump normally there's an inline fuse 4 or 5 inches from pump.
Have you checked the power distribution panel for a secondary fuse ?
