Council reviews Rauch proposal to replace Well 4 with new Well 4R
Summary
At a May 7 workshop the Town Council and Town Engineer discussed Rauch’s proposal to install Well 4R to replace Well 4 and increase production; the plan does not address storage capacity and the council said it will review 30 days of production data before deciding on capacity changes.
At a May 7 workshop, the Town Council of Trappe and Town Engineer Katherine McAllister reviewed a proposal from Rauch to install a new well designated Well 4R to replace the town's existing Well 4. The council was told the replacement would increase production capacity but would not resolve the town's storage shortfall.
Council members present — President Schmidt, Jeremy Newnam, Commissioner Michael Sullivan, Commissioner Rose Potter and Walter Chase — discussed operational questions tied to the proposal and flagged a compliance gap: the proposal as described does not satisfy one of the town's well requirements referenced in the DRRA. Council members also noted Lakeside still needs to build a water tower to address storage needs that the Rauch proposal does not cover. The council said it will review 30 days of production numbers from the new well, if installed, before making decisions about how to allocate or advertise any additional capacity.
