Monday, our primary well was back on line after a calcium deposit was removed by Somerset Well Drilling Company. The process took longer than expected due to the original diagnosis being iron rather than calcium. Each requires different chemicals to eliminate. The flow rate on this well has diminished over the past year but has stabilized and is providing us a sufficient level for our daily needs.
Thank you for cutting back on your irrigation needs over the past two weeks. While we always encourage smart water usage, you are free to resume normal water use in the city.
New Well
We began preparations last fall for establishing a new well in the Pocomoke Aquifer. We settled on a test well down the road from our current primary well which promised a flow rate between 500-600 gallons per minute. This is good news and we hope to have the clearance from the county and state to move forward with the well in the coming month.
