Moulton Faces Water Shortfall With Limited Well Output
Moulton's latest test well on the J P Miller property east of Lawrence County Hospital flowed only 20 gallons per minute after a 24 hour test. The third well drilled this spring and summer is unlikely to relieve a possible summer shortage. Water board chair H A Alexander said the 250 foot well shows that piping river water or distant supplies would be costly. He noted the town may need multiple wells or a reservoir as the present well could drop in output during dry periods.
