concrete

Concrete has been placed. This piece of pipe will be sent down to clear out any debris that may be at the bottom of the well.













Tentatively scheduled Thursday is to put down the test pump and run it for approximately 3 days.

Casing

The casing has been placed. We have an official hole in the ground.

The drillers will be working late again tonight, but not all night this time. They anticipate being done tonight by 8 if the weather holds.

I found an excellent article that gives a general explanation of water well drilling.

MSDS Drilling Mud

A request has been made for the msds on the drilling mud.

Casement Placement

Drilling is close to the end. They are at 820 feet, need to pull up the drilling stem, case it, and pack it now to maintain the well hole. They will be working well into the night.

Sand

This morning we are at 660ft and into the water bearing sands of the Paluxy Aquifer. Casing is scheduled for delivery Friday.

Well Drilling

There has been some confusion as to what "Boil Water Notification" means. It means exacting as stated in the notice, drinking, cooking, making ice requires boiled water. Laundry, bathing, etc...continues as normal.

The new well is now at 440 feet. We had 1 day of delay due to the water line that was ruptured.

Boil water update

Shelly turned in water samples and test forms first thing this morning, and we anticipate being cleared of the boil alert by 3 pm tomorrow.

Boil Water Notice

Public Notice to Boil Water

Due to a line break, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required our water system Southlake Park Services, Inc. to notify our customers of the need to boil their water prior to consumption.

To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to use. The water should be brought to a vigorous, rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may purchace bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source.

When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the water system officials will notify you that the water is safe for consumption. Instructions to discontinue boiling will be issued in the same manner as this notice.

If you have any questions concerning this matter, you may contact Joel Getz at joel@getzteam.com or 817.783.2121
