Water shortages hit Swea City as well runs dry
In Swea City the water supply failed after the city well dried up last fall, forcing the school to close and residents and businesses to fetch water from distant wells and cisterns. State officer Glenn Yates received a $200 check intended for the conservation office from a county sheriff, money the donor says will be used to fund game cover plantings in the Knoxville area as restitution for past off season pheasant shooting.
