After successfully irrigating Sat am. I set the timer to irrigate another block that evening. While checking for any major leaks I noticed that not only were there no leaks but there was no irrigation taking place. After unsuccessfully trouble shooting it on Sun. I was convinced that the well was going dry!! The trusty folks from F & T Drilling showed up on Wed, pulled out the pipe and pump and found a bad check valve. And I learned that the water level was 220′ above the pump, a good thing. So, after a couple of sleepless nights, all is well re: water on the Lock Vineyard.
