Fairhope public meeting reviews Source Water Well No. 13 aquifer and capacity
Summary
City meeting for Source Water Well No. 13 identified the local aquifer as the "Fairhope Middle Aquifer" (not an official name) and discussed an approximate permitted capacity of about 400 gallons per minute.
A short public meeting on Source Water Well No. 13 in Fairhope reviewed the well's geology and an approximate pumping capacity.
At the start of the meeting, an unidentified meeting facilitator said, "This is a public meeting for Source Water Well number 13 Fairhope." An engineer with Krebs Engineering introduced himself and the project's geologist, Dan O'Donnell, and invited questions about the well.
Dan O'Donnell, a geologist who worked on the well, said the formation being tapped is the "Fairhope Middle Aquifer," and added that the name is informal. "That's not an official name. It's just the name I gave it so I can track it from a well to me," O'Donnell said, and noted that GSI refers to the unit as Miocene–Pliocene.
An attendee asked about the well's capacity. The discussion recorded that the permit was expected to be for about 400 gallons per minute; another participant clarified "454 or something," describing that figure as approximate.
The meeting concluded shortly after the capacity discussion.
No formal votes or actions were recorded in the transcript for this item.
