WSC Down-Hole Project: Update – Tues. March 31, 2009

Message from Bob Balslev, SRE-WSC President
Tues. March 31, 2009; 5:48:16 PM CDT

This is the first of what is intended to be a series of daily progress reports regarding your project.

Bottom line: Project on schedule and public water consumption conservation is meeting our goals. This evening’s usage will be a key indicator of our plans success to maintain personal usage needs.

  • 8 AM today: your two 20,000 gallon storage tanks were topped off and the well pump shut down.
  • Immediately thereafter the well’s galvanized pipes were removed by Whisenant & Lyle Water Services, Inc. of Dripping Springs.
  • Once the pipes were removed, GEO CAM of San Antonio commenced logging of the well hole. The logging process is a precision, continuous top-to to-bottom analysis via resistivity measurements defining the mineral composition of our 705′ hole.
  • Following the logging, measurements were also taken, top to bottom, of the hole diameter.
  • Logging and all measurements were completed at approximately 2 PM.
  • The logging process is necessary in order to plan a composite water quality improvement plan.
  • At 4 PM, 2,200 gallons of water were delivered and transfered to the storage tanks.
  • Prior to the water transfer at 3 PM, our customers had consumed approximately 3,400 gallons of water.
  • Tomorrow AM, we will have a better assessment capability of our consumption measurements.

On Wednesday, we will commence cleansing of the well, a three day process.

Thanks for your consumption conservation efforts.
