As drought conditions worsen around our region, some municipalities have been asking residents to conserve water. For private well owners, wells were producing less water or even running dry.
A well driller in Derby reported more than 20 telephone calls daily for the past month to a month and a half about dry springs. He also noted that for the past four or five years he has gotten calls from folks with dug wells where water production slowed toward the end of summer.
