Jacob’s Well hits zero flow

By Megan Wehring 

WIMBERLEY – Jacob’s Well has officially ceased flowing for the fourth time in recorded history – this is the result of the ongoing drought and increased levels of groundwater pumping. The last three major recorded instances of a prolonged zero flow were 2009, 2011 and 2013. 

This also comes after Hays County officials deemed the area unsafe for swimming earlier this month due to the threat of high bacteria levels, other pollutants and poor visibility.
