Certificate of Recognition National Ground Water Association Outstanding Project in Ground Water Supply
Year:
1998
Early in 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the construction of an injection and recharge well known as well A-4R, which was fully operational by year-end 1998. All of the water provided to the District property owners originates in non-renewable ground water aquifers. Well A-4R pumps water out of the underground source, and then once treated, injects the water back down hole to be stored underground in a natural reservoir created by the injected water. This stored, treated water is ready for delivery to system users. This technology has the potential of tripling the life of an aquifer thereby insuring high quality water within the District for years to come. The well’s performance is exceeding the original expectations. Late 1998, the District received a Certificate of Recognition from the National Ground Water Association for an Outstanding Project in Ground Water Supply for the development of well A-4R.
