We Have WATER!!!

The well drilling rig

We have been eagerly awaiting the well being drilled on the land. We’ve been in the queue for 8 months and finally this week the drilling rig arrived and they began the process. They discovered that there is a lot of dirt on our land. Typically they hit bedrock around 40 feet. At our land it was 140 feet. On the third day of drilling (good biblical reference in there) they hit good water at about 450 feet. We have a solid well that is producing 25 gallons per minute. That means it can produce 36,000 gallons a day. We will be utilizing one, possibly two different storage ponds for our irrigation needs.

Having a good producing well is an answer to prayer, especially since county water does not serve our land. The parcel next door (that we hope to purchase later this year) has an even better well of around 70 gallons per minute. Between the two of these wells, we should be able to easily accommodate all of the water needs on our future campus. Praise be to God!
