This lack of production resulted in the residence having to haul water to meet their
demands. This project involves the replacement of the existing well with a new 950-foot
deep well that will produce at the original pump rate of 30 gpm. Reaksecker Drilling,
Sadalia, Colorado, has completed the drilling, casing, and installation of the pump, and
all electrical work. Unfortunately, the Company's new well is only producing around 5
GPM. This lack of production has resulted in the Company requesting approval from
the SEO to operate both the old and the new well together to increase production to over
10 GPM. The Company is waiting on a formal decision by the SEO.
