Needed rain, few problems brought by Fay

Published 9/1/08 - High Springs Herald
Of the rainfall meters that the Suwannee River Water Management District monitors, Ichetucknee Springs got the most rain in the Crescent Communities with 6.58 inches.

The rainfall helped fill ponds that were empty or nearly empty because of the low aquifer. The rainfall also helped raise the level of the Santa Fe River, causing it to finally dislodge the water hyacinths that had clogged the river near High Springs.
