I live in SE Arizona, SE Cochise county Sulphur Springs Valley area. Many domestic wells in our area have gone dry. Our well has been marginal for a couple of years. I could no longer have a lawn, flowers, no garden. Now just laundry drains our pressure tanks and it takes a few hours to refill them. Our pump will run until the thermal switch shuts them off. I have two, both 32 gallon hooked together. Looks like we are down to strictly house use. People who have lost their water , and there are many in our area , must haul their own from a fire station 15 miles away or have it delivered by a very unsavory person that has a water company for a settlement 5 miles away. He is expensive My question, does anyone know of any federal or state assistance that will help in this situation. My wife and I are both on Social Security and $12,000 to have our well deepened is totally out of the question for us.
