"Faucets Go Dry Near SC Mega-Farms"

"WINDSOR -- Air whistled through the kitchen faucet when Earldell Trowell turned on the tap one morning last summer.

On July 4, one of the hottest days of the year, she had no water. None in the kitchen, none in the bathrooms, none at a spigot outside.

It would take a week, $150 and the help of neighbors to get water flowing again to her mobile home in rural Aiken County.

But today, as summer nears and the weather warms, Trowell worries that she could again face a water outage. Her concern is a mega corn farm that opened last year, just down the road from her property."
