We are digging a well by hand at the radio plant for our water supply.
The radio station is out in the country and city water does not reach here.
A crew of four have been working for about two weeks.
About ten feet down, they struck two rich water veins.
Since then, it has been extremely difficult to go much deeper.
With three large pumps running non-stop, the level stays high.
As fast as they can pump the water out, the well fills again.
The water level inside the well has to be very low so the man at the bottom can dig.
The goal is to sink your well deep so you will never lack.
In times of drought, the water table can drop and your well could go dry.
But it looks like our well is in a spot where two fresh streams run close to each other.
It has been hard going, but once the crew is finished, we should have one of the finest wells in the area.
