Assistance Type: | CIRCUIT RIDER ASSISTANCE | ||
Details: | Background/Problem Identification: Ami Keiffer of RCAC reached out to the circuit rider on behalf of Rufus Public Works to request assistance in troubleshooting an under-performing well. Assistance Provided: The circuit rider spoke at length with Ron Jensen about the under-performing well (SHER50113/L45724) and the ongoing issues they have had with this well over the past ~20 years. The well was drilled in 2001 and has since diminished in output from ~200 gpm to the present 42 gpm. The well has been periodically air-bursted to some appreciable effect. We believe that given the poor performance of the air-burst method, that potentially chemical or co2 methods may yield a better, more long-term result. Ron was put in contact with a third-party geotechnical engineer that specializes in well assessments and rehabilitation methods. Follow-Up Actions Needed: The circuit rider can assist further as needed. Technical Reports to be Prepared and Expected Timeframe: N/A. |
