Elliott Ranch Well No. 2: camera study complete; city awaits engineer review and next steps
Summary
Council heard that a camera study and diagnostics were completed for Elliott Ranch Well No. 2; footage has been provided to the city engineer and a consultant review will determine whether to replace the pump/motor or do additional testing.
Council reported that the camera study of Elliott Ranch Well No. 2 was completed and that footage has been delivered to the city engineer and consultants for review. Staff said contractors "did it on that day, the Friday that they were supposed to do it," and that the footage and results have been provided to the city's engineering team for analysis.
Engineers (PGMS and contracted subconsultant Kava) will review the footage and advise whether the issue is a mechanical failure (pump/motor replacement) or a well/production issue that requires further pump testing. Council emphasized urgency because both the City of Hays and Elliott Ranch were relying on a single operating well and asked staff for timely recommendations; staff expected an initial engineering response as early as the following week.
