Staff: contractor can drill test well next week; solar-panel conduit and irrigation lines need coordination
Summary
Staff told the council a contractor can drill a test well near the wastewater facility as soon as next week and that locating electrical conduit for planned solar panels and an irrigation line near the sludge drying beds will require coordination and site work.
City staff reported that a contractor can move Mabton up in its schedule and drill a test well as soon as next week; staff said the contractor recommended a site near the wastewater facility but noted an irrigation line about 15 feet west of the sludge dry beds that must be avoided.
Staff also said solar-panel work will require locating electrical conduit and coordinating with utilities before any drilling or construction. A council member asked whether the city is saving money from previously installed panels; staff said they would follow up with the contractor about expected savings and return with more information.
Council members asked staff to contact the contractor and to identify exact locations for drilling and conduit work so that test wells and solar infrastructure do not conflict with existing irrigation lines and utilities.
