Workmen continue the test well near Sibley municipal light plant after an early week discovery that water flow at 450 feet was insufficient for a permanent bore. George Thorpe of Thorpe Brothers Des Moines pledged to lower the shaft further, aiming to 750 feet to secure greater flow, as city officials weigh the next steps.

Town weighs water drill plans under shale find
Mark originally set to ascertain water between 450 and 760 feet, Thorpe reports the shaft can be lowered with no town cost. If an excellent flow is found before 750 feet, the town pays for extra drilling. otherwise a test hole may be drilled elsewhere at no charge. Water found earlier this week pumped for five hours with no definite flow. council doubts further lowering the bore below 750 feet is economical.
