The United States Geological Survey is continuing its effort to develop a system of aquifer monitoring wells…currently centered in Williams County. Representatives from Williams, Defiance, Fulton and Steuben counties…several others, as well…began meeting in August 2020…in the wake of that controversial proposed project by Artesian of Pioneer…to drill into the local aquifer as a possible source of water for various, mostly governmental, entities in Henry, Fulton, Lucas and Wood counties. The project was put on hold in late 2019…when most of those entities joined the Toledo Water Commission.
