In the western half of Taylor County, except in the lowlands of Big Pitman Creek, about three-quarters of the wells yield enough for a domestic supply. In the rest of the county, very few wells yield enough for a domestic supply, except in a few lowland areas bordering streams, where yields are sufficient in a few wells for domestic use. Numerous small springs and seeps are found throughout the county; most springs discharge from small solution openings and joints in limestone or siltstone and are supported by shale layers. Flows are as much as 20 gallons per minute, but most have minimum flows of less than 1 gallons per minute. |
