Topic: Maintaining Public Community Groundwater Supplies

Operating and maintaining a public community groundwater supply system involves continual monitoring, compliance, permitting and maintenance. Monitoring of pumping and non-pumping water levels and discharge rates provides minimum data necessary for evaluation of system operation. Long-term and short term data trend analyses are tools utilized to determine well and pump operational capacity and efficiency, the need for testing, potential for well rehabilitation and aquifer characteristics. Periodic well rehabilitation through a variety of techniques is necessary on some wells to maintain capacity.
