Well No. 11B Drilling Project

This project is the first step of constructing a new well at the Wastewater Treatment Resource Recovery Facility. The project includes:

• Drilling and providing for a 24-inch surface casing to a 25-foot depth
• Drilling and providing for a 20-inch casing to a 260-foot depth
• Providing for the 20-inch casing to extend above surface level to a height of 2-feet
• Drilling the remaining 18-inch lower hole to a 400-foot depth
• Providing for an intermediate flow test
• Providing for well development and a pump test of up to 2,400 gallons per minute.

Drilling is one phase of the overall project. City plans to bid a Well House Construction Project in winter2023; with bidding dependent on the drilling phase. The City also plans to pre-purchase motor, discharge head, and bowls based on the pump test results while the well house is under construction
