NEW WELL WELCOMED BY RIBBON CUTTING
|
Yucca Valley, CA - On Wednesday, October 8, 2014, Hi-Desert Water District (HDWD) joined the Yucca Valley Chamber of Commerce in welcoming HDWD's new Well 20 West by holding a ribbon cutting ceremony.
The new Well 20 West uses state of the art technology to produce 900 gallons of water per minute which can provide up to 1.3 million gallons of water per day to our customers. In addition, the well's design allows for displaced water to be redirected to a recharge pond increasing water use efficiency.
"We are excited to celebrate the completion of the Well 20 West project," said HDWD General Manager Ed Muzik. "The project resulted in a cost savings to HDWD and is now in full production."
In-house staff worked alongside the District's contractor to complete the site work and equipping of the well which has a finished depth of 944 feet below land surface. In an effort to obtain a substantial savings, the District reduced the contracted work scope which allowed the remaining improvements to be performed by the District's in-house staff. This resulted in a cost savings of approximately $300,000.
