Project Information:
EDB Mitigation Project-
The overall project consists of converting an existing City well (Well No. 5) to an irrigation well, converting an existing irrigation well (Well No. 8) to a City well, drilling and equipping a new well (Well No. 9), and constructing an east-west pipeline and a north-south pipeline to connect the two new wells (Well No. 8 and Well No. 9) to the City's system. The project also includes approximately 1,000 feet of fencing for Well No. 8, approximately 1,000 feet of fencing for Well No. 9 and source meters for both wells. The Scope of Work under the DWSRF loan consists of the following components of the overall project:
• Equipping Well No. 9. The City drilled Well No. 9 in 2014 using funding from a Washington State legislative proviso. The scope of work for this phase of the project includes constructing a new well house, furnishing and installing the pump, motor, chlorination, electrical and telemetry equipment, flow meter, and providing other pipes, valves and fixtures required to make the well fully operational. It is expected the pump will be sized to produce approximately 2,000 gpm. The motor, which will be controlled by a variable frequency drive, will be sized at approximately 300 hp.
