Prior to drilling the new production <br />well, the city is required to drill a test well. <br />On May 27, 2025 the City accepted quotes and awarded the construction contract for Test Well <br />No. 7B to Traut Companies, who will use sonic drilling to mitigate sandstone fracture failures. <br />The proposed new Well No. 7B would replace existing well No. 2 which has not been in service <br />due to poor water quality. The new test well and production well would be located at the <br />Water Treatment Plant site, eliminating the need for a pumphouse and reducing the length of <br />raw watermain needed to connect the well to the treatment plant. <br />The City requested quotes from three contractors to complete the grading work needed to <br />build up the test well site. The City may have some additional electrical costs along with <br />grading. The quotes for the project were received on June 3, 2025 and are outlined below: <br />CONTRACTOR QUOTE <br />Arndt Construction, Inc.$48,520.00 <br />Park Construction Co.$117,283.84 <br />R.L.
