Centennial Street Water Discharge May 7 - Water Sustainability Plan
Posted on:
The Town is testing a water well at the South Reservoir starting May 7, 2025. The testing is expected to take approximately 12 hours.
Testing Well 13 to expand existing water sources
- Well 13 is licensed but not currently in use
- We are performing draw-down testing to see how much water it can produce while still protecting the aquifer
- This project is part of the Water Sustainability Plan, to ensure we have enough water for today and future development
- Although testing loses some water, the test is needed to see if we can use the well again
What to expect
- Water will be discharged along 50 Street
- The discharged water is untreated, contains no chemicals, and will be safely returned to the environment
- Our water supply will not be impacted during the test because we are not in water restrictions (Page 16 - 18)
- We ask that Lakers continue to follow water conservation during the test (Page 18)
