Fourth City Well Pumps Air as Water Shortage Deepens
A Roswell water crew lowered the pump at the city well near Valley View School after it began drawing air. This is the fourth city well to run dry in 30 days, as water officials warn of a serious shortage. An extension is being added and pumping lowered to the receding water level. Heavy rain could ease the problem, though no rationing is planned. Other wells near the Roswell Museum Cahoon Park and west of the city have also pumped air and been lowered.
