Drilling has begun on a new water well for the City of Chillicothe. 

According to a social media mention by the City of Chillicothe, a contractor is drilling a three-foot wide hole, approximately 90-feet deep, for the installation of a pump and electrical components. 

The drilling should go for a couple of weeks.

This new well will replace an existing well which was tapped in 1956. The older well is no longer providing the volume of water needed at the Chillicothe Water Treatment Plant, located nearby in Yoctangee Park.

Litter Media is pursuing additional information from Utilities Director David Fishel as to how many gallons the city anticipates the new well site should yield.
