Yesterday the Source posted an article titled “When Wells Run Dry“. Readers of this blog should be very familiar with the themes covered, specifically the fact that domestic (exempt) wells are allowed to pump 15,000 gallons a day (!) and have no metering or monitoring. In spite of a few errors in reporting and some confusing passages (to be expected from a reporter who hasn’t been following water issues for years), it’s a reasonable overview of the issue. I have been writing about exempt wells for over a decade and appreciate the issue being highlighted once again.
