Prineville reports ASR 2 near completion; city has stored nearly a year's worth of water
Summary
Planning Director Joshua Smith updated the commission that the ASR 2 injection/recovery well near the airport is completing its seventh cycle this month; city data show six cycles of injection with increasing aquifer storage and nearly a year's worth of water stored to date.
Joshua Smith updated the Planning Commission on the ASR 2 aquifer storage and recovery well located in the airport area, saying the City has completed six injection cycles that showed increasing aquifer storage with each cycle and that cycle 7, completing this month, will help confirm whether the aquifer is expanding outward. He said the City has stored nearly a year's worth of water so far.
Smith presented a graph of the last six injection cycles to illustrate the trend but did not provide raw data or hydrological reports in the meeting. He characterized cycle 7 as a confirmation step; no further timelines or environmental reviews were discussed in the meeting.
