Well #7 Drive-Speed Adjustment
The pump specialist increased the drive speed on Well #7 from 43 Hz to 47 Hz. As expected, this increased production from 115 GPM to 151 GPM, an increase of 36 GPM. The increased pumping rate also lowered the water level, with the depth to water moving from 140 feet to 145 feet.
The drive speed had previously been reduced to allow water levels in the area of the three deep wells—#5, #6, and #7—to rise. However, the specialist became concerned that operating Well #7 at too low a drive speed could place unnecessary stress on the motor. The speed was therefore increased to a safer operating level.
Deep-Well Evaluation
The pump specialist continues to monitor the aquifer in the area of Wells #5, #6, and #7. The temporary operational adjustments are intended to provide sufficient water levels to evaluate and restart wells that have been inactive or underperforming.
Well #5 appears to be clogged, which explains its declining production and current lack of output. The plan is to pull the pump, address the obstruction, and return the well to service.
Well #6 has been inactive for nearly a year because the water level was too close to the pump. Its pump is set at a depth of 154 feet. The water level has now risen from 128 feet to 120 feet, providing approximately 34 feet of separation between the water level and the pump. The improved level should allow the specialist to start and test Well #6 to confirm that it is operational before the rainy season.
Near-Term Operating Plan
Over the next one to two weeks, the priorities are to:
- Pull and service the pump in Well #5 and return the well to operation.
- Start and test Well #6 to confirm that it is fully operational.
- Continue monitoring water levels and production across Wells #5, #6, and #7.
- Obtain recommendations from the pump specialist regarding which wells should operate and the appropriate drive speeds for each.
Once Wells #5 and #6 have been evaluated, the specialist will provide a recommended operating plan. That plan will remain in effect until aquifer conditions change, particularly following significant rainfall.
Operational Perspective
The long-term purpose of the well system is to keep groundwater levels low. The recent effort to allow water levels to rise is a temporary operational measure intended to create sufficient water around the pumps to test and restart wells that have not been needed during the extended period of low groundwater conditions.
Monitoring will continue weekly, with reports issued biweekly unless operating conditions change.
