City of Richmond, MI - Supervise and document attempted well rehabilitation and new construction
Richmond has a series of deep gravel wells supplying more than 2 MGD, with ground water operations handled by an outside contractor. One well was brought on line years after construction and produced poor water quality. A rehabilitation was attempted, but proceeded with difficulty and well damage occurred. Ground Water Science was engaged to assist the city in its decision-making process and to supervise and document attempted well rehabilitation and new construction.

Spencerville has a high-capacity carbonate-aquifer wellfield in a politically and technically sensitive aquifer setting (a designated sole-source aquifer) in which both public water suppliers and private-well owners maintain marginal ground water supplies. Work included analysis of studies by other consultants in the area and technical liaison with the state and neighboring communities, WHPA delineation using MODFLOW, based on detailed local data collection, well capacity testing and regional aquifer-scale testing to update the numerical model of the wellfield.

“We learn the value of water when the well goes dry,” said Benjamin Franklin. The cost of properly maintaining your ground water assets pales in comparison to the social and economic disaster that would result from a failed community water supply.
