The last couple of commission meetings, we have discussed the <br />appropriate location for a peaking well that will require little or no water treatment. <br />We have conducted water quality tests from the following three locations. <br />i) Johnson Street water tower site. <br />ii) Twin Lakes Elementary School site. <br />iii) Twin Lakes Estates Outlot K -which has been deeded to us for a potential <br />well site when Twin Lakes Estates was platted. <br />Attached is the following information for your review. <br />a) Color bar chart showing the iron and manganese levels of our existing wells 7 <br />& 8 and the three potential sites. Twin Lakes Estates is clearly the one to <br />utilize without a treatment facility. <br />b) Map of Twin Lakes Estates with proposed site. <br />c) Proposed well site plan. <br />d) Proposed building layout. <br />The 2007 budget contains a $500,000 line item for this well. Initial estimates are in the <br />$550,000 to $650,000 range to construct a well on this site. Increased cost is in part due <br />to site access and wetland issues. <br />Staff recommends authorization to proceed with this project. <br />
