Water wlls condition, refurbishment look good for coming summer Martin Conover SPRINGVILLE HERALD The canyon weU could produce pro-duce as much as 4000 gallons per minute said Springville City Public Works Director Brad Stapley in his monthly report to the mayor given at Tuesday's director's meeting. Stapley went on to say that Peterson Drilling has completed complet-ed "development" of the well and they are currently in the process of cutting oft the 16-inch 16-inch diameter casing near the 428-foot level of the well. This will allow placement of a larger larg-er pump at that level in the remaining re-maining 24-inch casing pipe. A series of pump tests are planned for the first week in February to determine the actual ac-tual yield of the well. Because of the location of the well and the planned placement place-ment of a second fire station on the site, additional effort is being taken to make an attractive attrac-tive well house, something that will fit in with a fire station sta-tion and not stand out. ' As noted before, the Evergreen Ever-green well is currently shut down for repairs and to have a plumbness and alignment test performed on that well. This test will determine the condition of the shaft which in turn will control the type of pump best suited for the well, which Stapley says would be a line shaft versus a submersible. sub-mersible. " "Meanwriile the pump at trie well has been removed and taken to the 400 South Compound Com-pound to better determine what caused the failure of the Eump. A turbine company is eing requested to inspect the pump. The 1000 South well is also shut down because a large vibration vi-bration was noted in that pump.

Three Utah artists round out the museum's current exhibits ex-hibits with all three offering distinctly different artwork. Salt Lake City artist Layne Meacham paints big, abstract ab-stract paintings. Swanson says Meacham's paintings are "thick and crusty. Although Al-though abstract, his work has a jubilant, optimistic mood. Color on top of color is one way to describe his paintings." In contrast, Swanson said the work of Bruce Brainard of Saratoga Springs is "thin, contemplative and serene." Brainard's work includes landscapes from Idaho, Utah and Scotland.

The public works department de-partment is also looking at options op-tions to increase the yield of this well which is currently 650 gallons per minute. Modifications in the well casing might be made at other water producing zones. However, How-ever, these modifications will not be undertaken if the well cannot be back in service before be-fore spring. The 400 South well is also currently shut down for rehabilitation. reha-bilitation. Dewey Peterson has finished the installation of stainless steel screens and casing cas-ing pipe and "development' of the well is complete. Pump tests are currently underway and a new well house is being designed A 12-inch diameter pump capable ca-pable of producing 300 gallons per minute at 82 efficiency is expected to be installed in the well The 900 South well and the 200 North well are all in production pro-duction at the present time and are adequate for water needs of the city right now. The present snow pack seems to be looking good for this time of the year. If the trend continues the city should have all the water it needs this summer.

Substation, Substa-tion, only a brief bump was felt in the city and no power outage occurred. exhibit Those seeking more concrete con-crete works will enjoy the paintings of Judith Mehr, also from Salt Lake City. Mehr paints with a classic realism re-alism in several genres, including in-cluding landscapes, still-lifes and allegorical figurative de- Eictions. Mehr's work has een featured in "The Ensign," En-sign," a publication of the LDS Church, although this exhibit fetures what Mehr calls her "non-religious paintings." paint-ings." "All my paintings have a story, but I like to let the viewer create their own story sto-ry when they see my work," Mehr said. "I do focus on realistic re-alistic work, but I do include some abstract elements." One such story-telling painting is the piece "Grandma "Grand-ma Was a Storyteller," which portrays a grandmother grand-mother shelling peas with her grandchildren. "These six exhibits offer a tremendous amount of variety. vari-ety. It's like aesthetic whiplash," Swanson said.
