About the cover: A drill site in Long Grove, Illinois, where
two well systems were installed for a senior care facility by
a crew from Peter Snelten & Sons, a 93-year-old firm from
Wauconda, Illinois. The first well was 22 feet and produced
150 gallons per minute and the second was 1000 feet
and produced more than 200 gpm. The drone photo was
taken at 100 feet. Photo submitted by Peter Snelten of
