The Highland Shores well in Highland Village will receive about $310,000 in repairs to improve its pump capacity following council approval at a Feb. 24 meeting.
In a nutshell
The city operates five wells that produce about 4.4 million gallons of water per day combined. City officials found that the Highland Shores well was producing 0.87 million gallons per day, about 19% under its design capacity of 1.08 million gallons, Public Works Director Scott Kriston said.
The repair project will cost about $310,000, roughly $10,000 more than the city had budgeted, due to an unforeseen repair to the motor drive shaft, Kriston said. The repairs also include replacing pipe and pump components.
