The piles on Nancy Waldrop’s dining room table just keep growing — newspaper clippings, pictures, handwritten letters and maps, all arranged into separate stacks. Waldrop has been collecting the papers since the spring of 2014, when the well that supplies water to her Parks home went dry.
She believes the cause is the Parks Water Hole, a commercial standpipe just to the west of her property where local residents fill their water tanks.
Jim Dewar, who oversees Parks Water Hole, has a different perspective. Dewar maintains it was the third year of severe drought, not any connection between the wells that caused Waldrop’s well to go dry because the water flow into his well has been normal since last October. Waldrop’s well, however, is still dry.
