MAINE PUBLIC • September 28, 2020
2020 has been a very dry year. Now with autumn underway, the drought is continuing. Ryan Gordon, a hydrogeologist with Maine Geological Survey told Maine Public a little bit more about what's going on. “About half of the population of Maine gets their water from a private well that's on their own property. Those wells are more susceptible to drying up then public water supplies. The shallow are usually older wells are the most susceptible to drying up.”
