APPLE VALLEY, Washington County — Wells have run dry in Washington County's Apple Valley, leaving about 170 households without water. And those who do have water are being told to boil it before using it.from the town of Apple Valley on Wednesday night said although the three wells were functional, no water was coming out and "the million gallon tank is empty."
Early investigation concludes either seismic activity or drilling may have caused the wells to drain. "Such a system failure carries with it a high potential that fecal contamination or other disease-causing organisms could enter the distribution system. These conditions may pose an imminent and substantial health endangerment to persons served by the system," says a statement from the Big Plains Water Board.
Those with RVs can fill up water storage tanks at the Apple Valley Town Hall on 1777 N. Meadowlark Drive. A second truck will be bringing water for animals, Nielson said.
