Justin Graves and his family resorted to hauling water from neighbors and his wife’s workplace just to survive. Experts from Bedrock Well Pump revealed the drought had dropped their water level by over 200 feet, frying the pump—and it wasn’t an isolated case. Across the region, wells were failing under the strain. Crews had to replace the pump and flood the well with pressurized water to revive it. The technician called it one of the worst drought impacts he’s ever seen. Now that water’s back, the Graves are conserving like champs—bottled water, extra reserves, and that first shower after a month without it? Pure bliss.
