I hope we get some of the tail end rain from that one. I have been using
cistern water since early June and have been checking the well regularly
to see when I can switch back to it. Despite having had rain almost
every day for the last week, including some periods of downpour, my
well is empty. After the driest summer in a long long time, it is going
to take a lot more rain to saturate the ground enough to rejuvenate it.
