Back in 1950, a small group of well drillers started meeting on
someone's porch or someone else's kitchen in North Central Florida
area. Later they held regular monthly meeting, alternating between
Hughes Supply in Gainesville and Florida Pump in Ocala, the only
suppliers in the area at that time. Some of those early Charter members
were Albert Miller, Morris Gary, Joe Hare, Rudy Mackenzie, Hugh
Hopewell, Chuck Wooden, Odell Sheppard, and Joe Bemis. They organized
the NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA WELL DRILLERS ASSOCIATION, which is now known
as the NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA WATER WELL ASSOCIATION. We are the oldest
and largest chapter in the State Association, which is now known as th
FLORIDA GROUND WATER ASSOCIATION. Our annual membership is currently at
a record number of 164 members. Over the years a large number of our
members have served on the State Association Board of Directors. In
addition, the following members have served as president of the
FWDA/FWWA/FGWA. Albert Miller, Joe Bemis, Wilbur Langley, Allen
Harwicke, Tim Myers and Donald Hall. The purpose of the NORTH CENTRAL
FLORIDA WATER WELL ASSOCIATION is to promote quality construction of
water wells while at the same time protecting our environment to ensure
adequate and safe water supplies for current and future generations.
Another of our objectives is to have input into the rule making process
so that we try to keep the regulations reasonable and rational. We
encourage everyone who makes his or her living in the ground water
business in the North Central Florida area,in whatever capacity,to
become a member of NCFWWA
