Plains to drill new water well
Plains Council members unanimously voted to drill a new town water well at a special town council meeting last week. During the special session, council members reviewed the proposed drilling contract from Wet Water & Environmental Technologies, that is based out of Kalispell. The company is an environmental, engineering and geoscience consulting firm that designs projects that include site development, utility master planning, distribution systems, wastewater treatment and local utility development. The well will be drilled by Coldwater Drilling and Pumps out of Arlee. Water & Environmental Technologies will manage the project on behalf of the Town of Plains. The location of the well will be near the intersection of Kruger and Upper Lynch Creek roads. The cost of the project will be $79,030 which includes engineering design, drilling and site cleanup. Drilling is expected to start within the next month. The new well project, expected to be around 200 feet deep, will be deeper than any of the town’s previous wells. The idea of drilling an additional water well was first conceived by previous Mayor Dan Rowan.
