Arbuckle Wells Status Updates
Del Oro Water field personnel routinely measure the static level of water in our wells. As Arbuckle’s wells share an aquifer with surrounding agricultural operations, it is especially important to monitor the level as they can be drawn down quickly by those operations.
The reporting measurement is water level (feet) above well pump. This makes it easier to visualize the current water level. Reporting has been simplified to one level per month to make it easier to compare across years. Larger numbers mean more water is available.
