Wells Provide Gallipolis With Needed Supply
An unusually severe winter drought grips Gallia County Ohio with many rural wells nearly dry. Deep wells in Gallpolis City and at the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics draw water from the river region and supply via gravity to storage tanks. Rural creeks and streams run low forcing residents to haul water for livestock and domestic use until rainfall returns.
