Drillers Bring Water with Help of Xylem, Water Well Trust
Nearly 25 years ago, Luis and Nancy Salazar moved their family to a small plot of land outside San Antonio, Texas, to be closer to relatives. Over time, the Salazars made the property their home. But, like many low-income, rural Americans, access to a reliable, clean water source has eluded the family.
The cost of caring for a daughter with cerebral palsy created a challenge for the Salazars to finance and build a well on their modest income. For more than two decades, the family has made do with sharing water from the well located on the neighboring property owned by Nancy’s parents.
