Test Of The Tularosa Well Yields 170 Gals Per Minute
A Wednesday test of the Tularosa artesian well under State Engineer Herbert W. Yeo found a flow of 170 gallons per minute from depths around 250 feet, with potential for greater yield if deeper drilling reaches more productive strata. Driller Harold Kersey expects stronger flow within the next hundred feet and plans to drill to 450 feet, then move to a nearby school section for another test.
