Three wells were examined that were off Harmon's Creek Road, near the King Cemetery. Their access road is gated at several points.
The well access road for this site had ruts. The site itself was well vegetated, almost completely reverted back to forest and very pleasant.
The human touch of the date marked in cement at the wellhead was very appealing.
The plastic tank needs the required secondary containment dike.
This is an old well. 1949 had been marked in the wet cement at the wellhead.
The plastic tank is without the required secondary containment.
