Fairhope, Alabama
Well Number 13 started. |
WELL #13
Drilling is beginning for the city's thirteenth water well on property recently acquired by the city on Boone Lane, near other city wells and treatment plant #3 on River Park Road south of town (CR 33).
Last December in response to last summer's water shortfalls, the city council awarded a $2.3 million contract to low-bidder Morrow Water Technologies for this one -- and another near treatment plant number #1 on Fairhope Avenue (well 8B, under the water tank).
Completion timeline is uncertain at this time.
Comments
Has any study been done to see if the amount of water in the aquifer is sustainable for the population growth?
I believe it is going to an issue to wrestle with in the future.
Um...Earth is a closed system. Variations occur regionally and over time, but all the water we had, we have still. Unless, of course, you're suggesting that aliens are expropriating our H2O.
I'll never understand the charm of being a Cassandra.
