Hillock Well Drilling at Beech Ridge Schoolhouse (Photo: Karlene Osborne)
Many thanks to the Stanley E. Hillock Co. of Mitchell Hill Road, who graciously donated their expertise and services to the Beech Ridge Schoolhouse project and determined the condition of the well. On June 6, 2019, Joe Gallant and his brothers, whose grandfather started the business, excavated the area around the well pipe and welded the broken pipe after finding that the well is 68 feet deep. They cut the pipe to the building so that the building can be lifted in July. They also have determined that the water flow is insufficient and will return to the site to clean out the well and see if it will be necessary to drill deeper.
