In my city they went around and filled wells with cement. My friend had a well on his property. They showed up on a Saturday and filled his well. He just let them. They said it was illegal. It was installed and used by the previous owner. The subdivision was farmland. He said he could water his lawn and flowers all summer long. He was also filling his swimming pool. All for free. Except for the electricity needed for the well pump. Long story short. He now pays for every drop of water he uses and he has to pay sewer fees as well. This is bullshit what they do.
