To be eligible, homeowners must be at or below 80 percent of the area median household income and they must have no water due to the ongoing drought.
According to Tom O’Donovan, director of the state Department of Environmental Services’ Water Division, “About half of the state lives on residential wells and that means we have residential wells going dry. And we are seeing that.”
To protect your well supply, it is recommended that outdoor water use be limited and water use be staggered, allowing the well time to recharge between demands.
