Some wells have gone dry in Terre Haute, leaving other area well users anxious about their water supplies. People were using water very judiciously, trying to keep showers short and not wash too many loads of laundry through the fall.
An area well driller said that he has been inundated with telephone calls from homeowners needing to have their wells made deeper or redrilled. The water table was low because rain has been relatively scarce.
