system and provide a reliable local water supply for the community. As part of the City's

been identified for rehabilitation based on their age, operating history, and the need to
maintain long-term reliability and production capacity.
The rehabilitation work generally includes removal and inspection of the existing pumps and
motors, downhole video inspection of the wells, rehabilitation or replacement of pumping
equipment based on inspection findings, installation of new flow meters andmotor-operated
valves, electrical and instrumentation upgrades, well testing and development, and
associated site improvements. The work also includes startup, testing, and commissioning
to return both wells to reliable operation.
