Current Activities

One well project is currently underway to expand the availability of water for new residents. Well #4 will be located on the NW corner of Wagon Wheel and Murphy Drives.  This Well has taken quite a bit longer than Well #5 due to its size and complexity as well as the challenges of working with the public loan we obtained for its funding. The site has been cleared and electricity has been run to it. The well has been drilled and has been pump tested. Our current design received only one bid that was significantly above our budget. We are going back to the drawing board to determine the best way to proceed with this well.

We are also in the process of implementing a SCADA system that will go live in late summer/fall of 2023. For those unfamiliar with the term SCADA it stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. Basically, it’s an automated system to control functions of the water system, collect real-time data and store historical information. This will help improve the efficiency of the operation of the water system helping defer and eliminate the need for additional wells.
