Council hears $38,000 estimate for Well #1 repairs; state PFAS sampling required
Foreman and council discussed pond leak repairs and troubleshooting at Well #1; Sargent Drilling reported pump work and a rebuilt drive shaft could bring total costs near $38,000, and the city must complete another round of PFAS sampling (previous sampling ~ $2,300).
The full story
City Foreman Spencer Cumley told the council that Well #1 had tripped breakers and that Sargent Drilling recommended replacing the control box and rebuilding the drive shaft as the likely repairs. Cumley said the crew placed a temporary third fuse and Sargent reported the pumps themselves were still serviceable; Sargent estimated total repair work could be around $38,000 and said two water samples must be submitted before the well is returned to service.
