The water obtained from <br />the Fox Hills sands aquifer is reasonably good domestic water except- <br />ing that it does not comply with minimum legal requirements for <br />chemical quality. It exceeds the allowable concentration for fluoride <br />which has a specified mandatory limit of 2.4 mg/liter. In addition, <br />the total solids have exceeded the recommended 500 mg/liter. The <br />Town has had difficulty in obtaining sufficient quantity from the <br />present wells. It has four wells existing, one of which was abandoned. <br />Some detailed information on the wells is as follows: <br /> <br />Well No.1: Well No.1 was abandoned in 1974.

The well is rated at 57 to 60 gallons <br />per minute. The pump is a 15 HP Reda submersible <br />pump with discharge piping of 2" diameter size. <br />The well casing size is 6 5/8" in diameter. <br /> <br /> <br />Well No.3: Well No.3 is drilled to a depth of approximately <br />900 feet with the pump setting at a depth of <br />approximately 600 feet. The well is rated at 50 <br />gallons per minute. The pump is a 10 HP Turbine <br />pump utilizing 440 volt power. The well casing is <br />6 5/8" in diameter. <br /> <br />Well No.4: Well No.4 is drilled to a depth of approximately <br />900 feet with the pump setting at a depth of approxi- <br />mately 504 feet. The well is rated at 57 to 60 <br />gallons per minute. The pump is a 15 HP submersible <br />pump using 440 volt power. The discharge piping is <br />3" in diameter and the well casing is 6 5/811 in diameter. <br /> <br />II - 2 <br />
