Project Description
The City has an ongoing maintenance program of repairs/updates for the City's seventeen (17) active water wells.
During FY 14/15, the City accelerated the replacement of two poorly performing wells (Boys Ranch #2 and
Jackson #3) and the development of two new wells (E. Main Avenue and Walnut Grove) to increase available
water source and to provide for more reliability. Drilling of the four new wells (Phase I) will be completed by the
end of FY15/16. Phase II begins in FY 16/17 with the reconstruction of existing well buildings for Boys Ranch #2
and Jackson #3 well sites.
Future well projects are anticipated and a place holder project is shown in FY 21/22. A new CIP is being prepared
as part of the new Water Master Plan to be completed in early FY 16/17. Future well projects will be clearly
defined including scope and timing of the projects in the new CIP.
Project Justification
In order to ensure system reliability, the water wells are on a scheduled maintenance program.
