💧 IN THE FIELD

CRWA Circuit Rider Abel Silva was onsite with Casitas Municipal Water Company during a well casing project facilitated by Boreline.

The previous casing failed twice, however, since they switched to Boreline they have had no problems. The system has gone up in production and down in pumping costs.
