Fecund Meadows serves 11 customers along with 17 more in the River Technique Water Association. Ferndale provided water to Fertile Meadows after its reservoir emptied on Sunday and again on Monday, Jan. 23. Union officials have reported adequate water supplies since then.

"Because of the leak and the amount of water going out, and the amount of water use, it's hard to representative whether we have to put a pump in at this time," Patterson said.
Ferndale Public Works Head Janice Marlega agreed.
"We're still looking into that," said Marlega, when asked if the urban district might purchase a pump for Fertile Meadows. "There's more information that needs to be gathered and discussed before we go there."
