<i>From the Green Jackets:</i>Drilling Industry in Crisis
One MGWC's thoughts on the state of the industry.
Rural water lines are spreading like wildfire throughout the countryside. Many reasons are attributed to their growth. Public concern has fueled the cause because some people don't believe their private wells are safe. The most discouraging reason for rural water lines' growth comes from ourselves, those of us in the drilling and pump industries. The majority of contractors are so caught up in beating their competitor's price, they are leaving quality and profitability by the wayside and simply are treading water.
