Artesian well

Water powers the hydroelectric dam, flushes the fish passage, provides drinking water via an on-site filtration system and gushes out of the earth from an 800-foot artesian well to heat Breitenbush’s structures and fill its pools.

What is clear, in each case, is that the tears are coming from an extremely deep place, like the purest artesian well water.

The deep pit, dug by the landowner to be an artesian well, had been left uncovered after it failed to strike groundwater, Phop Phra district chief Sanya Phetset told Thairath TV on Tuesday.

Dimock resident Erik Roos, who spent years fetching drinking water from an artesian well miles from his house, whose well was fouled with methane, said he was pleased that he would finally be connected to a public water supply.

An artesian well, the Oxford springs, discovered in a wheat field near Beverly and Western in 1910, still supplies water to the Beverly Hot Springs spa.
