Water Well Improvements

The final stages of the additional well and electrical component upgrades are happening today. The next two weeks will consist of tuning the new system to operate efficiently for irrigation water production.
It's a much more sophisticated system than the old. The new well will be using a variable frequency drive (VFD) motor and a water level transducer to regulate water flow during low groundwater events. The original well will still use a motor saver that cuts power for a specified period of time under the same circumstance.
Both wells were fit with flow meters for monitoring well production.












This is a major improvement and will aid ERGC in reducing City water use during our peak irrigation season.
