Summary
An April 1965 notice offered Beaver Islanders an opportunity to join planned deep-well drilling near the Golf Course after low lake levels contributed to dry wells. The notice estimated $4.50 per foot for a four-inch cased well and said equipment was expected about May 15.
Evidence and limits
This is a planning and price notice, not proof of drilling, permits, final cost, or a completed well.
