Another well to clean

Water was supplied to our pipes from a well. Wells have problems.

Excitement describes the condition as we climbed the short hill to discover the well. It was a stone and concrete well located on a flat spot just a few feet from a small creek. Apparently, and underground spring fed the well. I can remember looking down into the fifteen or so foot deep hole to see the bottom. I guess that meant that water was running out faster than it was running in - or maybe everyone had their faucets open to drain it so the repair could be made.

Whatever repair was required was completed quickly and we soon had running water again. And I managed to come out of it uninjured.
