WORKSHOPI ITEMS-N NOA ACTION WASTAKEN Emergency Declaration Pump Purchase for Haller Wellfield Public Works Director Jim Kelly reviewed a resolution for an emergency pump purchase Well #3 at the Haller South Wellfield is very old. Itl has been in service for over 100 years. The well screen has recently been allowing sand to enter the well and pump #3A has become sand bound. After pullingi it out to have iti rebuilt, the pump technician informed staff that it wasn'tworth rebuilding. Haller South Wellfield is the City's primary drinking water source, having one ofits three pumps out of service compromises the Water Treatment Plant'sability to meet the Arlington community's water demands. The pump needs tol be installed prior to peak demand season in summer of2025. These pumps are custom built to fit the current motor and discharge head exactly.
