New Well for the District
Commissioners Herb Gardiner, Kevin Aiken, Mina Gomez, Krista Herling, Aaron Gale
This summer the board of commissioners visited the new well, which has just gone online to provide water to the district. The well was ready to go in the summer, but the required tests for water safety took several months to process and come back. The completion of this new well brings us to three total, which will allow us to take one of the old wells offline next year for much needed service.
These are the kinds of projects your water rates pay for; maintenance and upgrades to our system that will keep us providing clean water for many years to come.
