Water scarcity hits rural wells as dry spell persists
In late fall and early winter dry conditions rural wells run dry or fall to low levels. A local well driller cited several cases countywide with one well dry since 1925. Some residents haul water while others drill deeper. freezing ground slows but does not stop work. Temperatures dipped below freezing with a high of 37 on Sunday and lows near 22, but milder weather may ease frost. Culler Lake and county ponds show skating activity as frost thaws. Fishing Creek reservoir remains about 15 feet below the top. city supplies look limited but not seriously affected in Brunswick and Thurmont.
