For awhile DES had rates set by the legilsature and they were artificially cheap which meant an artificial backlog. I think that has been resolved, but wherever you go get a firm grasp on their timeline.
Let us know what you learn, please.
It all depends on what his static water level is and how quick his well replenishes. If he is only getting 3-6 gallons per minute and has a static water level of 40’ that won’t take long to use up especially if he pushing irrigation for landscaping and such… with the drought we are currently having and no rain in sight for the next 15 days, I think there will be a lot of dry well issues occurring…
