How To Shpp For Water Wells
Whether you need a water,
well for your new home or to'
replace an existing well, the
National Water Well
Association (NWWA) has
some “well shopping”
suggestions for you.
First, determine your
home's water supply needs.
A rule of thumb might be 70*
80 gallons per day per person
for suburban living; 100-120
gallons per day for farm
living. Your county agent,
municipal engineer, well
drilling contractor or pump
dealer can help you deter
mine your precise needs!
Finding a competent
drilling contractor is the
next step. Besides the yellow
pages and newspaper ads, an
excellent place to get in
formation is from the
National Water Well
Association. They will be
happy to give you the name
of one or more reputable
contractors in your area;
one who enjoys a good
reputation, uses good

equipment, high quality
materials, and modern
techniques.
A good local contractor
belongs to his state and
national associations and
learns through them the
most modem methods. He
understands and appreciates
the need for better and safer
wells, and has a technical
knowledge of the efficient
and proper use of ground
water.
Regardless of how you
pick your contractor, here
are a few basic guidelines
which will help insure that
you receive the best possible
water supply for your
money:
(1) Check in advance on
best possible water sources.
(2) Insist on a written
contract. Read the contract
carefully, and if it is not
clear, consult your attorney
before you sign.
(3) Insist on full coverage
insurance.
(4) Compare all itemized

Note To
Hunters
C. Wilmer Supplee,
Chairman of the Chester
County Agricultural
Stabilization and Con
servation Committee, thanks
the sportsmen of the area for
the splendid interest they
have shown in the Public
Access Program for 1974. As
indicated on ttae brochure we
have only 38 farms with
approximately 7000 acres
available for public hunting.
The requests to date for
brochures on this program
have exceeded 2000. This has
brought much concern to the
County Committee. Mr.
•Supplee states that there are
two items he would like to
bring to the attention of the
Sportsmen at this time. Upon
arrival at the farm it is
possible that you, the hunter,
may be refused permission

As Mrs. Reber looked on, Dr.
Norman Reber, center, accepted the
1974 Distinguished Service Award of
the Pennsylvania Association of Farm
Cooperatives from PAFC president
to hunt due to safety reasons.
This is in accord with
program regulations. The
only time this will take place
is, if, when you arrive, he
feels he has a sufficient
number of sportsmen on the
farm. There are four other
counties in Pennsylvania
which are operating a
similar program. These
counties are: Armstrong,

Lycoming. Perhaps if you
are planning to spend a day
you could visit one of the
other counties. This could
help relieve the situation in
Chester County. For further
information on brochures for
any of the five counties you
can contact the Chester
County ASCS Office, phone -
