1. Phase One: The new well shall be constructed and temporarily connected to the existing potable water supply system. The existing disinfectant chemical feed unit shall be temporarily reconnected to the new well. After the new well and chemical feed systems are online, the existing well shall be abandoned to allow construction of the water system building to proceed. Work of this phase shall be substantially complete within 120 days after the Notice to Proceed.
