Engineer recommends keeping three bollards closer together for wellhead protection
Summary
Engineer’s Assistant Duane Folz advised the Board that existing county policy specifying three bollards should remain and that minimum spacing of three feet and maximum spacing of four feet be considered to facilitate service-truck access while preventing vehicle intrusion.
Duane Folz, Engineer’s Assistant, presented research on bollard spacing tied to wellhead protection and referenced the county’s current resolution that calls for three bollards spaced five feet apart. He said a landowner suggested placing two bollards ten feet apart to allow room for well repairs, but after consulting a local well company Folz reported that retaining three bollards at closer spacing provides stronger protection and still allows service trucks to access the well.
The Board discussed adjusting the resolution to specify a minimum spacing of three feet and a maximum of four feet between bollards. The meeting record does not show final resolution language or a vote on ordinance text; the bollards resolution was listed for a future agenda item for further action.
