The city says the project will provide additional treated water capacity and a new water source for residents.

The city contracted in October with Hydro Resources-Mid Continent Inc. to handle the first phase, which will involve rehabilitating the existing Jasper Aquifer well on Loesch Street and constructing a new Catahoula Aquifer well on city-owned property near the intersection of Loesch Street and Briar Point Lane.

Hydro Resources will build a 30-foot-tall sound barrier to help limit the construction noise that exits the work site.

Construction will typically take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day, but the city says the drilling portion of the project will involve work 24 hours a day between early February and early May.  Well test pumping will occur from May 19-23. 

Phase 2 of the project, which will consist of treatment facility design and construction, is expected to begin soon after the first phase is complete.
