Fred,

Well drilling here would be a waste of money even if they would let you. The ground water is so far down and not a lot of it that it would be cheaper to buy a tanker truck and go to a lake or river and pump it full. I went over to the lake yesterday and took some pictures. The tops of the intakes for the water to the power house are about 30/40 feet above the water and the old tail tower is about 40 feet out of the water. They are using one of the islands now to launch their boats from which is normally under about 40/60 feet of water when the lake is full, but now you can drive out to it and there is plenty of room to park. Also the nets they made to let down in the water to keep the bottom part cool for the fish are way down.

Ron
