noticed Utah is in a severe drought, how has this impacted your wells and irrigation? Or has it? What restrictions has the state put on you or may in the future? If this drought continues, will your wells eventually run dry? How deep is your current well and are there other wells in the area that are having issues?
Will, in response to your question:
- “Again possible solutions if you are unable to drill for a longer period of time? Such as shared well or other options?”
There are “courtesy” wells (the wells that came with the property that we’ve salvaged) where families can get water while they wait for their own well to be dug. Sharing wells opens a big can of worms. We strongly encourage our shareholders not to share, unless maybe when their relative is their neighbor.
Update!
Once we hired a water rights attorney, and organized the co-op as a water company, we’ve been able to proceed with drilling our wells.
24 new wells have been dug to date.
Again possible solutions if you are unable to drill for a longer period of time? Such as shared well or other options?
Thank you so much for your responses, and where to find your well information, I hope Utah has a better snow year and you are able to resume drilling, if you are not able to drill for a few years what have you looked into as possible solutions?
By the way, all the records of our wells can be accessed on this interactive map.
