A dairy farmer with a nearly dry well was aided by the Auburn Fire Department which allowed him to fill his tanks at the station. Due to drought, the water table and head pressure of his dug well had fallen to low to provide water for his cows.
Since the start of 2021, thirty-two dry wells have been reported, but none of the dry wells were in Androscoggin County.
