The old well in front of Litwins Dept. Store on the south side of the square was filled today with crushed rock and cleansing bleach per the requirements of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The well, one of many that were in downtown Iola to provide water to fight fires, was discovered a couple of years ago when the sidewalk was being replaced.
