Magnolia Water Well
As you know, the Water Production & Wastewater Department has budgeted in its Capital Outlay,
Special Equipment and Improvements line item $15,000 for well inspections This usually entails
pulling the well pump and inspection of shafts byrunning a camera down the well for a visual
inspection. The industry average cost for inspection is around $10,000. We contracted with O'Day
Drilling who normally handles our well inspections and they did the work for $8,985.00.
Upon camera inspection we found the upper half of the well corroded due to age and not functioning as
designed. In addition the pump was pitted and needed to be replaced. Total cost to replace parts of
the pump and repair it was $19 995.96. To finish rehabilitation of the well is $18,968.10, which brings
the total to $47,949.06.
As per our conversation on 10/22/03, I have authorized O'Day Drilling to proceed with the job as we
need the well back in service asap I will prepare an agenda request to inform City Council of the
expenditures. Funds are available in 030-4042-565.73-00 as we will delay designated projects until
next year.
