I also received a phone call reminder from Enid that the Drought is so bad that the allowed watering for people on city water is down to only watering lawn by hand and for only an hour per day that they are allowed to water. Here is where my rant begins, our other neighbors who are also on private wells are so damned concerned with having green lawns that they run their sprinklers for HOURS and flood the streets EVERY day, which has lead me to believe that our pump is no longer drawing water and most likely also burned out due to this, which means that I will have to spend some $$$$ to replace the pump and have the well drilled deeper.WE are in a DROUGHT people, a green lawn is not that damned important :finger:. All we use our well for is to water the lawn 1-2 times a week and keep our tomato garden watered, which now we will have to do by filling water cans inside and going out to water the garden.Rant over, its just been one of those days.</blockquote>
