The <br />well used for the house was over 400 feet deep, but 1 am unsure of <br />the permit number, since there was a mix up in a lot of the records <br />of wells on my property. The age of the wells was unknown. <br />Bath wells were used successfully until 1987, when the Zigan Gravel <br />Pit opened and began operating just behind my property. A short <br />time later we started having trouble getting water out of the <br />shallow well, because of the fact that the water table had dropped. <br />Shortly thereafter, the well dried up. <br />In February, 1988 problems developed with the deep well which was <br />used for the house. We started having periods when there was no <br />water and in May of that year, it was plain to see, that a new <br />well would have to be drilled. At this time we could get very <br />little water during a day. The new well, permit number 151960, was <br />completed in August, 1988. <br />There were several meetings in Hrighton concerning the issue of <br />well problems and gravel pits in the area but I could not attend <br />all of them because of the time of day they were because I had <br />obligations to my employer, so i am not real sure if anything was <br />ever decided on this issue. <br />I hope this information is helpful to the issue. If I can be of <br />further assistance, please feel free to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Roger Sable <br />
