Water department: Dixie Springs Well ready but awaiting state operating permit
Summary
Water staff reported Dixie Springs Well has completed bacterial testing but remains offline pending a state-issued operating permit; Alpha Engineering must submit outstanding paperwork before operations can begin.
The city’s water department told staff the Dixie Springs Well is physically ready for service but cannot start full operations until the state health department issues an operating permit. Speaker 6 said the department completed pump testing and bacterial sampling and that Alpha Engineering is finalizing paperwork required by the state.
Speaker 6 described the remaining steps as procedural items the engineering firm must provide before the health department will issue the permit; no schedule was given for the final permit approval. Council members asked whether pumping had started and were told the department completed pumping long enough to take bacterial tests but is awaiting the health department’s signoff.
No formal action was requested of the council during the briefing. Staff said they will notify the council when the operating permit arrives and the well enters service.
