New Drinking Well Pumps

The two drinking well pumps that currently service the town are no longer working at capacity and need to be replaced. The town plans on using funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to fund the project. Vertical turbine well pump number one was originally installed in 1987. It is 112 feet in depth, 77 feet in length (outside casing), and 8 inches in diameter (outside casing). The manufacturer is Peerless, and the model number is TA2369. It has a rated capacity of 320 gallons per minute with a 15-horsepower motor, and it is currently pumping 200 gallons per minute. Vertical turbine well pump number two was originally installed in 1993. It is 125 feet in depth, 70 feet in length (outside casing), and 12 inches in diameter (outside casing). The manufacturer is Peerless, and the model number is 10MA5. It has a rated capacity of 500 gallons per minute with a 30-horsepower motor, and it is currently pumping 400 gallons per minute. The goal of the project is to increase the capacity of both well pumps to a minimum of 500 gallons per minute. Together, the wells pump approximately 100,000 gallons of water per month. The project will entail removing the old well pumps (one of which is located inside of a treatment building, the other of which is in the open), installing new concrete pedestals with rebar and anchor bolts, installing the new well pumps, and disinfecting the wells. The wire and conduit coming from the ceiling to the motor may have to be lengthened, and the pump starter may need to be changed to accommodate a new, larger motor. The target timeline for completion is the end of February of 2022.
