I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Independence Day weekend. The fireworks, fun games, and grilling are all fun; however we should always remember what the date means. The spirited entrepreneurs of the 13 Colonies cast aside a currency system that incurred debt and taxation without limits. They defied a King and governing body which applied laws but rarely followed them. And they took up arms for the ultimate goal of controlling their own individual lives, communities, and destinies. They won and a nation was born.
I’ve been getting a lot of questions from folks with private wells who are not hydrogeology types. They are curious about various aspects of groundwater, wells, and pumps. So I’m going to try and post up some useful knowledge for them. This week will be a bit of crunch all around though due to the holiday weekend, some business closings, and other obligations.
