WATER SUPPLY OF WEST FLORIDA. 
MONTICELLO. 
Monticello is located in the north-central part and is the county 
seat of Jefferson county. The elevation as given by the Atlantic 
Coast Line Eailroad at the depot here is 202 feet above sea. The 
city is supplied with water from two wells, one 400 and the other 
800 feet in depth. The 800 foot well is eight inches in diameter 
and is cased 300 feet. The elevation of this well is approximately 
the same as that at the depot. The water is said to stand 150 feet 
below the surface. The water is hard and when used in boilers 
forms a hard incrustation. The second well is six inches in diame¬ 
ter and is cased 150 feet. The well is said to have the same head 
as the 800 foot well and to furnish the same quality of water. 
WAUKEENAH. 
Waukeenah is in the central part of the county. It lies within 
the rolling sandy clay soils and consequently the need for deep drill¬ 
ing in order to obtain a good water has not been felt. The water 
here is obtained from wells varying in depth from 20 to 60 feet 
which terminate in this sandy clay formation and furnish a good 
supply of soft water.
