The council voted to approve plans, specifications and estimated costs for Well 3 after a presentation from Sarah Fosbinder of MSA and a discussion about testing protocols. Fosbinder said the project is divided into two phases: Phase 1 (drilling) will be bid Aug. 26 with completion expected in the spring; Phase 2 (well house design and construction) will follow water-quality results and test pumping. “We did finally get the SRF environmental clearances. The finding of no significant impact was issued last week,” Fosbinder said.
