TO ADVERTISE BIDS FOR REPAIR OF WELL NO. 3 and : Alderman Figard read the follow- ing letter: "On July 15th of this year, I was authorized to prepare specifications and to take bids on 'Lowering of Pump in Wells No. 2 and 3.' "Before these specifications could be prepared the pump in Well No. 3 stopped com- pletely and so the job is no longer one of lowering the pump. "The column pipe, line shaft, oil tube and turbine must be removed from the Well because we have no way to determine just what the trouble is. We suspect that the column pipe has completely broken off at some point above the turbine. "The present turbineis set 600..ffeet below the surface. It could be repaired and lowered. However, the maximuf4 amount that we could lower it would be 80 feet with the present motor and turbine and we estimate the cost to do this to be from $9,000.00 to $13,000.00. This would serve for one or two years at the most. After that the pump and motor would have to be replaced with one that could be lowered much farther. 332 -3- 8/5/63 "Rather than to spend this amount of money for a temporary job, we propose the following: "Under contract we have a new motor and turbine for Well No. 4. We suggest that the present submersible motdr and turbine in Well No. 1 be used in Well No. 3 and set at 800 feet below the surface. "In order to do this, we must pull the existing pump and motor, ream the existing 15-1/4" hole in Well No. 3 to 20 inches from elevation 650 to 807, install 100 feet of casing to case off the St. Peter sandstone, purchase 780 feet of 8" column pipe, 810 feet of electric cable, 810 feet of air line, and a discharge head. "We must also change the present 180 volt starter for a 2300 volt starter and supply a transformer from 2300 volt to 100 volt for lights and chlorinator. "In order to do this work, w e should have the following Resolutions approved: 1. Resolution to lower the turbine in Well No. 2 thirty feet. 2. Resolution to Remove existing pump in Well No. 3, Ream existing 15-1/4" hole to a 20" hole from elevation 650 to 807, install 100 feet of 19" 0.D. casing, install turbine and motor from Well No. 4 in Well No. 3 and furnish and install 780 feet of 8" column pipe, 810 feet of #3-2300 volt cable, 810 feet of airline and a new discharge head. 3. Resolution to install new 2300 volt starter and a transformer from 2300 volts to 110 volts.
