Summary
Council authorized pay estimate No. 7 for municipal well and pump totaling $388,010 for the 2024 water system improvement deep-well drilling project; staff reported the drill reached water at about 2,650 feet and initial quality appears good.
The LaSalle City Council approved pay request No. 7 for Municipal Well and Pump totaling $388,010 for work completed on the 2024 water-system improvement deep-well drilling project. The motion to authorize payment was made and seconded and passed on roll call.
Public works staff reported that the drilling reached water at roughly 2,650 feet and that initial tests indicate the water is “really good” and may yield more volume than anticipated. Staff said blending the deep well water with the shallow well supply may reduce chemical treatment needs. The council noted progress on drilling and asked about next steps; staff said they expect to assess volume and finalize integration plans as testing continues.
No operating date for the new deep well was set during the meeting; council accepted the pay request for work completed to date and requested continued updates on testing and integration plans.
