Worsening drought conditions are keeping well companies busy
Even though pop up showers have been a nice and refreshing change of pace for the Ozarks, it hasn’t been quite enough to relieve us from drought concerns.
So, companies like Hewitt-Messenger Well Drilling & Pump Service are working seven days a week creating and expanding wells for houses, irrigation systems and livestock ponds.
A process that can be expensive as water levels get low, especially if your system has a leak causing it to work overtime.
Richard Linebaugh, owner of Hewitt-Messenger Well Drilling & Pump Service said, "Just take a look at the plumbing for leaks.
A person can see a leak.
Also monitor your electric bill.
An increase in your electric bill without you knowing it a lot of times will end up being that there’s a leak somewhere and that pump is running continuously.
Along with keeping an eye out for leaks and doing your best to conserve water, it’s also recommended that you have a crew come out to look at your well every year.
