Wasco staff says water-well testing still in test phase; two rigs working on multiple sites
Summary
City staff told the council that Central and Pozo well sites remain in the test phase because of technical and permitting delays; two rigs are active and four test holes are planned, with drilling reported 'yesterday' and 'today' at some locations.
City staff updated the council on the city's water-well program and said two test wells have begun drilling while other sites remain in the test phase because of technical issues and permitting delays. "Still in test phase," staff said of the Central and Pozo sites, adding that they expect to complete four test holes in fairly short order as rigs become available.
Council members asked whether drilling had moved beyond the test stage and whether other sites would come online; staff replied that two rigs are available and that the work will leapfrog from site to site as tests complete, and that additional decisions or approvals may return to the council if progress stalls.
