Drilling for water

Today we began the well drilling process on #3. Our hydrologist believes that sufficient water can be found somewhere between 300 and 500 feet down. Today they reached a point of 320 feet and the bottom drill snapped in half, halting the operation. Tomorrow, they will bring out a heavy duty magnet to try and pull that piece out and continue drilling. After they find sufficient water, we will hook up a pump to test water. Once the water quality and quantity is verified, the well stability needs to be checked and we are in business for summer!

The tees will be placed on the forward tee for the remainder of the process. Thank you for your patience as we dig for a much needed resource.
