Saw the truck drilling yesterday.  Any update on finding water?

The drilling in the Big Park was somewhat successful. The driller estimates about 15 to 20 gallons per minute, which is about one third of what we need. He drilled to a depth of 320 feet. 

The drilling in the Small Park was unsuccessful. No water to be found by way of the Austin Chaulk. He drilled to a depth of 320 feet.

Thats what is known as of now.

They're welcome to try drilling one in my backyard.

Scott,

 I wonder if the big park well site is a "fair weather" friend?  In other words, when the aquifer is full that it has a higher output. Several neighborhood north of us use this aquifer as their main source of water and they have been severly curtailed (Bexar Met). Might this not be a possibility?
