At least seven wells in Harpswell have gone dry after reliably providing water for many years. Wells on islands and narrow peninsulas have been especially problematic. Some people have had potable water delivered to charge the well or store the water in plastic tanks. Some wells were able to recharge after a length of time. More homeowners were interested in purchasing water storage systems to cope with the dry wells.
