Finishing the Well


Monday, 25 July 2011
Final steps started today to complete the well. Culvert sections were set into place – using 8 men to handle the concrete pieces and lower them into the well. The diggers then dug another 2 feet just to insure clear water area for pump and tubing string.
The bricks and mortar sand were then brought to the well site from the delivery point at the road. The completed concrete well cap will be delivered tomorrow after the brick work is completed.
Well is still producing a good infiltration of water into the well bore from the water table. Full production is anticipated within 2 - 3 days.
