300S250-7, 25-horsepower (HP) submersible pump sets (6-inch diameter) providing 300 gpm each and a Grundfos 16S15-14, 2-HP pressure maintenance submersible pump set.

The 25-HP pump sets are 74 inches in length and the pump setting depth is 36 feet from the bottom of the pump sets. The well depth is 40 feet total, with 36-inch steel casing and a screened interval of 23 to 38 feet.

2. The well discharge and control equipment are housed in a pre-fabricated wooden structure, approximately 14 feet by 9 feet, with a 2-foot by 4-foot skylight for pump access.

3. The pumps were replaced in 2018 with stainless steel because of significant corrosion but were reinstalled on the same carbon steel riser pipe.

3. Remove incrustation by mechanically scrubbing the length of well casing from pump setting height to TD with plastic-bristled scratcher. Jet well while scratching and remove loosened material by air lift, bailing, or other means. Collect and dispose of debris off site, and control discharge of wastewater to prevent site erosion.

4. Perform a second video survey to verify the condition of the refurbished well. Provide two copies of the DVD with video and pictures: one to the COR and one to the District

Engineer in Denver, CO.

5. Reassemble pump sets, pump cables, and airline. Reset the pump sets reset at the original depth (36 feet, at least 4 feet from the well bottom) with new 6-inch 304 stainless steel flanged riser pipe for the two (2) 25-HP pump sets from pump setting to well discharge.

Install new 1-1/4-inch riser pipe (of the same material) for the pressure maintenance pump.
