We have obtained the necessary parts and work will begin today to pull the old pump and motor from the bottom of the well. This process is expected to take 2 to 3 days and the hope is to have the Well back online by Friday evening. Thank you for adhering to the no-watering conservation practices! Hopefully, we can lift the conservation request by Friday evening. We will update you as information becomes available. Your concern for your city and fellow Citizens is greatly appreciated!
