Says Water
Shortage
lnexcusabIe

While Chardon =, Village is
faced with serious water
shortage and must find more
copious wells, IL wells, two
miles west of Chardon are pro-
ducing $4,000 gallons of high
quality water per hour.
This was revealed by Floyd
Hopkins, owner of the property
on which the wells are located,
at the public meeting called
by the Board of Public Affairs
Wednesday night in Thrasher
House in efforts to reach
solution of Chardon's problem.
Hopkins some time ago pur-
chased his property on Route
6 on which the famous mag
netic and artesian well is 10
Gated. This well flows 5000
gallons per hour, and has been
doing it for 80 years. Another
well is yielding $500 gallons
per hour.
With the plan of having his
own private trout stream, Hop
kins had drilled IL other wells,
all good producers. He said
construction work on engineer
ing plans are to begin this
spring for building a dam,
spillway lake and the trout
streams.
After the meeting Hopkins
was asked if he would welcome
any satisfactory plan proposed
whereby Chardon Village could
use this water. He said "yes."
Chairman of the meeting was
Max Greenler of the Board of
Public Affairs, who introduced
J. H: Weisgarber, well expert,
of the Ohio Drilling Co., Massil-
lon. This firm drills wells for
many municipalities in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, West Virginia,
Indiana and Michigan. Mr..
Weisgarber has been surveying
the Chardon area.
"Your water situation lin
Chardon has had wide publicity
and is well known, 'f he said
"You are now pumping eight
wells, but have not seemed, to
get any that produces tooSmuch
water. e
South of town are head
waters of the Chagrin River
/ feel there lis a glacial drift
there that would produce water.
This is probably a feeder to
Bass Lake. North of town are
headwaters of Big Creek, but
/ do not know too much about
this. fs,sssa
81 would suggest drilling test
wells south of w. A. Diedrich
Co., south of Chardon and also
south of the Joe Schultz resi-
dence north of the creeks Ixbe-
lieve water is flowing to the
west, and that drilling should
be further through Berea sand
rock and then..shoot fts&sS,
'The thing lis to, find water

cost money to get Information
on these tests, but it's up to
you to get water for the village.

Donald Doersam, head of the

that his department was pump
