Experiment Extends Equipment and Ideas From New York Firm to OU
Three experimental water wells near Ohio University Convocation Center are now owned by OU. Two are observation wells for class study and a third produces up to 250 gallons per minute. Financed by Fiberglass Resources Corp. to test plastic well screening, the project lowers costs and avoids rust. Layne Ohio Co. drilled the wells, and officials see use at the Poston power plant and in arid regions overseas.
