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)
