On November 5, Jim Ingersoll of the Friends of the Artesians (FOA) wrote a letter to Olympia Mayor Doug Mah and the City Council, announcing that the group would be disbanding, abandoning its dream of creating a park where a permanent, publicly owned well would be available for community use. After years of frustration, with repeated failed attempts to broker an agreement between the FOA, the Port of Olympia, and the City of Olympia, it seems unlikely that such a dream will ever be realized. Worse yet, the well in the Diamond Parking lot on 4th Avenue (near the former Manium) . . .

As the well goes, so goes Olympia : When the time comes will they defend their source of water with civil disobedience? Or will the community dry up?
