Wells running dry in the hill country?

An ongoing dispute continues over availability of well water for some residents of the Northridge subdivision in Dripping Springs.

According to some residents in the subdivision, around five wells have gone dry, causing some to buy water tanks and water from a third party water supplier.

Doug Cones, area resident and former general manager for the Dripping Springs Water Supply Corporation, said the development was approved by the county in the 1990s before a water availability study was conducted.
