Letter: Thankful for water from faucet

Marie Freeman writes:

I remember when the county had no county water, or very few lines. Struggled for years to keep water to my house. Spent thousands of dollars on a well that went dry. Unlike northern Indiana where I originally came from 30 years ago you can go 20 feet down and have water. Compared to 200 ft down here for a well.

Considering how many miles and miles of lines, I think our county water system is pretty effective. I appreciate having water to my house, remembering a dry house and trucking water in. It was no fun. When I purchased my home, there was a spring they put in the new highway. They blasted through the hills, it changed my spring. I had totally re-develop my spring that cost me thousands. Still went dry during drought. At least too dry for a 4-person home. I had to drill a well that went dry, cost me thousands.

I'm very appreciative of our county water system. I'm thankful every day for the water that comes out of my faucet.
