The best Christmas present of the year for BHCC is a high volume well that will be pumping water in no time. I haven't posted the last couple updates from General Manager, Mike Spayd, so here they are:
On December 26th:
The Water Committee met with Paul Stehly, the head of our well drilling company this past Saturday to discuss the next steps regarding the development of our water well. Depending on the weather, over the next two weeks, our drillers will be working on the final stages to transform our well into a production well. Concurrently, we are working on refining our cost estimates to present to the membership in January for approval of the financing package that we will need to complete the project and begin to irrigate the golf course with our own water.
And today, January 2nd:
Work commences again today when our drilling crew will resume working on the final stages to transform our well into a production well. The first phase of this work will be to increase the bore width of the well from 12 to 14 inches and the installation of the permanent casing in the well. Concurrently, we are working on refining our cost estimates to present to the membership later in January for approval of the financing package that we will need to complete the project and begin to irrigate the golf course with our own water.
Water quality test results will be evaluated in the next day or two and I will share some of that info on the blog. At this time, we are confident that the water can certainly grow grass.
Good start to 2013!!
