At a Trappe Town Council workshop May 7, council members and town staff reviewed a Rauch proposal to replace Well 4 with a new Well 4R that would add capacity but would not resolve storage shortfalls or meet one DRRA requirement.

The full story

President Schmidt and council members reviewed a proposal from contractor Rauch to install a new well, identified in the proposal as Well 4R, which would replace the town's existing Well 4 and provide additional water production capacity. Town Engineer Katherine McAllister and Water Superintendent Shawn Lane participated in the discussion; the council noted the proposal's potential to increase supply but emphasized it does not solve the town's storage needs.
