A truly frightening water situation is being reported just to our north in the Orland area: Wells running dry. An investigation by Action News cites dozens, experiencing little to no ground water, with one farming family telling Action News “they haven’t seen water levels this low in years” reporting they are now hauling water for home & agriculture use.

They are not alone, with others saying they’re afraid to even turn the pumps on for fear they’ll burn out trying to pump ground water that isn’t there. As for drilling news and deeper wells, customers are reportedly being told by well companies they are booked for months.

  1. Why are there no exact locations mentioned in any of the reports I am looking at. My family lives here and has rescue horses. We need to know where. Some reports say to the south of hwy 32 but nothing more. I live to the south of hwy 32 so this is a bit worrisome. How on earth to water eight rescue horses and our garden which provides food for my family?
