    Nice low numbered certificate, #36.
    In 1879, a 1,970-foot well was successfully drilled at Marion Square in Charleston by the City. It yielded an impressive 700,000 gallons per day and was thought to be the first successful artesian well in the region. Following this triumph, City Council granted a franchise to the City of Charleston Water Works Company to develop a public water system.
