Town Well

Town Well

FOWD's original Town Well, located at 7995 Park Drive, and was taken out of service because of age and increasing maintenance issues. This well had been capable of producing up to 1,600 gallons per minute (gpm). The consultant estimated that a well at this location would yield about 1,500 to 2,500 gpm. A detailed preliminary well design and assessment of conditions is presented in Appendix B. A Notice of Exemption was prepared to properly destroy the old well at the site and construct a new well within 35 feet of the old well with estimated capacity of 1,600 gpm, and replace an existing metal building with a new building. The new well was constructed to the same depth as the old well, about 600 feet below ground surface. After construction and development was completed, the new Town well was proven to pump 2,500 gpm. The pump and motor are designed for a capacity of 2,500, but may vary plus minus 10 percent, depending on the groundwater level. Because production is higher than the historic 1,600 gpm stated in the original environmental documents, this negative declaration was prepared to allow for full disclosure of information to the public.
