Sky Valley Water Well Issues
Garrett County experienced what was classified as a
“severe drought” this summer into fall. So far, we have
had two wells go dry and a few others had pumped out
their water column but have since recovered. Of
significant concern, one member’s well
was contaminated when a well company
fracked their neighbor’s well seeking
water; after six weeks, the well is still
contaminated. We highly advise all
members to not allow companies to
perform fracking in our residential area. With wells in
proximity, fracking is not a responsible choice, especially
as alternatives exist. If you are experiencing well
problems, please let the manager know. He can give
recommendations.
