City to Test Two New Wells On Highway Right of Way
Preparations are under way for tests on two newly completed wells along the Martin highway east of town. The 200 foot wells are not expected to be major producers, but could yield up to 50 gallons per minute. Plans include extending the pipeline from the east well and installing small pumps to supplement the city supply. A third well about 175 feet deep near the John F site south of town is also likely to be connected to the city water system if a deal with Mr Lane proceeds. Mr and Mrs J C Coleman are visiting their ranch near San Sabu for the weekend.
