Gas Vein Tapped At Chinook Well Amid Water Blockade
In Chinook, a second gas vein was tapped at the local well, reaching about 1,010 feet but water buildup prevented confirmation of gas flow. The drillers are struggling to shut off the water as a test produced a brief gas rise before flooding returned. In Great Falls, Boston Heights and Rolfe residents face water outages due to high irrigation demand, with Mayor Fousek noting the main and lower districts drain the pumping plant, hindering standpipe filling.
