Contract 2 focuses on converting an existing test production well into a new Type I supply well, which includes installing a pitless adapter, well pump, site watermain, process piping, chemical feed system modifications, and site electrical work. The project is funded through an EGLE Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program and requires compliance with specific federal provisions.
