 Discussion as to where new well or wells need to be drilled resulted in board members being sent off on fact finding missions.  Hydrologists and state engineer’s office are to be fielded questions and perhaps some sound results will come forth as to where new wells could be drilled.  Well #1 is 460 feet deep.  Production is down on #1 since the work over in September.
