Clifton prepares new water well to ease shortage
Clifton expects to bring a new 942 foot well online by the weekend as heat and drought strain existing supplies. The 36 hour test showed 250 to 315 gallons per minute, with a 40 HP submersible pump planned to yield about 250 gpm and up to 360,000 gallons daily. Present wells deliver 600,000 to 650,000 gallons daily, and the city has restricted use to preserve reservoir capacity for fire protection.
