BACKGROUND: The City Council approved the Water Transfer Agreement with the Whistling Valley
3rd Addition property owners on June 7, 2022. The Water Transfer Agreement provided for the legal
transfer of the private owned watermain system located in the public right-of-way to city ownership and
maintenance. As part of the Agreement, the city agreed to decommission the remaining Association owned
water system components that are not conveyed to the city, including the shared water supply well and
pumphouse.
Through a contract dated November 18, 2022 the city retained Keys Well Drilling Company to seal and
abandon the Whistling Valley 3rd Addition shared community well, demolish the wellhouse and concrete
slab including removal and disposal of all materials and debris, abandon the watermain service to the well,
and restore the site with seed and erosion control blanket.

(FINAL) in the amount of $15,950.00. The request has been reviewed and payment is recommended in the
amount requested.
FISCAL IMPACT: None. Final payment is proposed in accordance with the Contract for the work.
Payment remains within the authorized scope and budget. All costs related to this work will be reimbursed
