addressing concerns about wells drying up and changing depths. The EPA is<\/p>\n
monitoring our wells and others in the area. Mike L. pointed out that there is lots of<\/p>\n
speculation and little data. It is unknown what data was used to decide to draw<\/p>\n
down the water with the dam removal. A few neighbors were sincerely hurt by our<\/p>\n
own previous water operator\u2019s actions and the board members were regretful for<\/p>\n
their situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
