Water Test Well Drilling approx. January 24 to Feburary 3

Tomorrow - Friday, January 24 - our test well drilling for water service will arrive in Lake City.  The purpose of their visit is to determine the availibility and feasibility of additional water wells to serve our residents and guests using our water system.  This is not something we get to schedule, they arrive when they finish the customer before us.  It will most likely take them two days to get ready for the actual drilling so we anticipate they will start drilling Sunday or Monday, January 26 or 27th.  There are six test sites - one is near the school so we have requested that they drill that site when school is NOT in session because the drilling is noisy.  They will most likely start with that one first. The other five sites are near the Armory, on 3rd St between Silver and Gunnison, on 3rd St between Gunnison and Henson, on 6th Street between Silver and Gunnison and on 6th St between Gunnison and Henson. We do not know the order of drilling at this time.  The drilling will be loud and there will be tailings.  The drillers will only drill between 8 am and 5 pm, normal business hours.  The area around the drilling will be cordoned off to protect public safety.  If you have any questions, please call Town Hall at 944-2333.
