Congreve
This meeting was called for the purpose of expediting emergency repairs
for Well #7. Following is a report from Public Works Director, David
Creamer.
"To: Village Manager
From: Director of Public Works
It is Lmperative that emergency repairs be made at Well #7 at the
earliest possible da.te. This Well has steadily declined in production Report on
since it was placed mn service in August of 1964. The rate of decline Repairs
is as follows: Well #7
August 1964 1400 gallons per minute
May 1965 1~75 gallons per minute
June 1966 1275 gallons per minute
September 1966 1200 gallons per minute
March 1967 ll00 gallons per minute
April 1967 920 gallons per minute
The April, 1967 production reading of 920 gallons is quite alarming. A
week before this reading was taken the capacity was 1050 gallons per
minute. In anticipation that repairs would be required on this well
this spring I had specifications drawn up for the repair work a~M the
bid opening is scheduled for April 19, 1967 at 2:00 P.M.
I have chosen to shut off this well and it is my recomendation to
operate it only in the case of extreme emergency. I am of the opinion
that the intoellers in the bowl assembly are badly damaged and that
continued operation of the station would only aggravate the condition.
I have had a representative out from the meter company and although
there is some evidence of wear on the bearings he is of the opinion
that the loss would be less than 5% of total production. When the
meter was removed for inspection there were deposits of brass filings
laying in the pipe thus further substantiating my theory that int0eller
deterioration is co~uencing.
Further conclusions regarding punto damage is evidenced by the vibration
o~ the pump and building, shortened span of time on back spin and
increased time for water to reach the surface once the pump is energized.
It is my intention to dewater the reservoir at the Well #4 pumping
station site on Monday April 17th. I will then have a more con~prehensive
picture by checking the bottom of the #7 aereator for sand and/or brass
filings. I will attempt to keep you informed of all new developments.
Copies of recent production are attached.
Very truly yours,
/s/ David L. Creamer
Director of Public Works"
