The well is located 0.25 miles from a dry canal and there are cattle in the area. Requesting additional emergency PA funds to cover all costs on a final invoice. Additional charges are due to increased water hauling charges due to a flow rate increase. The flow rate is estimated at 40 barrels per hour.
