Rising Sun Well Design Raw Water Main

One of the older wells was decommissioned due to lack of capacity. In order to meet existing and projected water demands, RSMU determined an additional production well was necessary to provide adequate supply to their system. In addition, upgrades to the existing water treatment facilities, particularly disinfection and fluoride feed systems, were needed. System design included design of a new 16-inch diameter production well with a capacity of 800 GPM, as well as a new well house structure to blend the new well into the residential area surrounding the wellfield. A Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) was also prepared as part of an application to receive State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) money. The PER included a review of all potential environmental impacts, and a public hearing to accept comments from the public.
