In a strange turn of events, an industrial painting contractor from Illinois has constructed a “hog containment facility” to protect his well water.
When the town annexed three acres of land to construct a well and an elevated water tower – both within 225 feet of his house – Bob Wargaski, from Island Lake, Ill., became concerned about the proposed 600 gallon- per-minute demand. “It would have drained my well, but the law in Illinois says ‘too bad, so sad,’” says Wargaski.
