Well 7 has been out of service since 2017 due to a screen issue, which will be repaired in 2019.

Well 8 experienced flow meter issues - after the meter was replaced the new flow meter had multiple issues that were finally corrected by the manufacturer. In the block "2b - Source Information" for Well 8, I calculated the days used based on hour meter readings, and calculated the flow based on the flow data for the days I had.
