Wooster Board Eyes Water Supply Overhaul This Summer
Wooster faces a critical drought as the public service board reports the current supply will last only two to three weeks. The group plans to repair the Applecreek pumping station and drill a deep well along Clear Creek to augment the water supply, with a potential $12 000 to $15 000 cost for a pumping station near the B and O railroad. If the wells succeed, additional drilling may follow to serve the Glass Works university and expanding private demand.
