Show Culinary Well Completed At 530 Feet Drilling on Pleasant Grove's new culinary well was completed last at a depth of 530 feet. The well is located near the storage tanks in the vicinity of First North and Eighth East Sheets. According to Lewis F. Wells, 1 Mayor and Councilman Robert Holdaway, the water stands naturally natur-ally in the 16 inch pipe at a level of 270 feet from the surface. In a 10 hour test run conducted Friday, the well delivered two and one-half second feet of usable water and maintained the natural level. In fact, results of the pumping pump-ing indicated that the flow from the well increased as the pumping continued. "This indicates," said Mr. Hold-away, Hold-away, "that we have developed what seems to be a permanent and adequate addition to our culinary cul-inary water supply. According to present plans, the new well will be used on a standby basis, for use when the present water resources become insufficient insuffic-ient for city needs. The water will be pumped into the present storage stor-age tanks when need arises. |
