Well #3, installed by the County in 2015, is the primary source for potable water serving the seven County buildings at the County Services Complex. The well is located in the middle of a field adjacent to 3285 122nd Ave and has a gravel access road off 122nd Ave with a turnaround at the well. The well's performance has significantly declined in recent years producing 103 gallons per minute (GPM) and 115' of total dynamic head (TDH) in 2022 compared to 115 GPM and 108' TDH this year. Contractor shall disconnect, pull, clean and inspect the submersible pump and perform basic maintenance on its component parts on-site or at Contractor's facility. The repair, refurbishment or replacement of any pump components not covered under basic maintenance must be quoted and approved by the County. While the pump is pulled, Contractor shall clean and rehabilitate the well using a Contractor supplied cleaning pump, tank and appropriate chemicals regularly testing the water to adjust the chemical mixture as needed for the well's chemistry and sampling to ensure that the well is ready to be put back into service. Once the well is clean, Contractor shall re-install and re-connect the submersible pump, bring the well on-line and complete final water sampling. During the period of time that Well #3 is offline, the County can and will draw water as necessary from a secondary well that is integrated into the County Services Complex water system.
