Following the work to restore water quality, village officials discovered the well, which is a backup system for the town’s water supply, was not drawing as much as needed. Jeff Perrigo, interim public works director, said the well should draw approximately 1,000 gallons per minute, but currently it is drawing only 325 gallons per minute.
