Yup, we hit water! Well, George Chalk of Chalk Well Drilling did actually. It was such a cool process – from the dowsing, to the digging, then the tasting! Dowsing is also called “Water Witching”, and you know, I would not have believed it except I saw it myself. We watched George closely as he walked across the land. George told us where the underground stream began and where it ended, and his recommendation for the well location. And guess what – we hit water at 55 feet! Good flow and not a bad taste.

Our first jug of water from the well!

Fingers crossed that finding water during a drought means we have lots of water this summer and for many summers to come!
