Tate-Monroe Water Association, Bethel, Ohio - Wellfield biofouling
Since 1987, Ground Water Science and its predecessor have been assisting Tate-Monroe with wellfield biofouling on wells that had declined by that time
when compared to their original performance, including biofouling testing and maintenance analysis with recommendations, rehabilitation protocol planning and well cleaning project evaluation. Work included a detailed analysis of complex problems, a three-year research study financed by the AWWA Research Foundation, and detailed well cleaning plans that provided good results.

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.
“A clean well is a happy well.” Regular cleaning and maintenance head off conditions that cause the authorities to take action against you.
