At least seven water wells near the town of Wellington have encountered warm to hot water at depths of 20 to 61 m. The wells are located in Secs. 2, 11, 12, T10N, R23E. The deepest well (60 m) has a reported temperature of 47°C, and there are indications that it may become hotter with increased pumping (Loeltz and Eakin, 1953). The water chemistry of this well is very similar to Hinds' Hot Springs 16 km to the north, suggesting a common source for the thermal water. Water from the 47°C well is used for a public swimming pool.
