Well owners encouraged to address concerns early

HARTINGTON — The region has been experiencing moderate rainfall over the last couple of months, and the irrigation pumping season is starting earlier than in previous years. This could lead to increased irrigation use, which puts additional pressure on the district’s groundwater resources and potentially results in reduced groundwater recharge. It is essential to consider how pumping may impact other groundwater users. Conservation of water resources should be a high priority for all in all years.
