What better way to spend a day than helping your father deliver water.

LIND – The town of Lind has been without water for at least the last 48 hours, and citizens are helping each other out by delivering water to those who need it.

Resident Denise Snead gave kudos to local farmers Donna Bidek and Roger Smart for delivering water to residents, adding "this water project has been a nightmare."

Janice Dennis said Smart and his daughter, Sophie, were driving his water truck around town, giving water to families in need.

"This is what being good neighbors is all about," Dennis said.

Mayor Paula Bell and staff at Lind Town Hall could not immediately be reached for comment.
