Construction of Well Nos. 2 & 3 and Pumphouse No. 2

TKDA helped City meet increasing water demands with new wells and a pumphouse

Because of increased water demand from commercial development, the City of Columbus commissioned TKDA to develop an additional 2,000 gpm of pumping capacity. In order to accomplish this, TKDA developed a plan to construct two wells on the single site.

TKDA’s plan called for the construction of a 1,000 gpm drift well and a 1,000 gpm well into the Tunnel City Wonewoc Formation approximately 25 feet apart with a single brick and masonry pumphouse constructed over the two wells. Since these wells also provided fire protection, a 250 kW diesel generator was permanently installed at the site. Electrical controls included variable frequency drives, transducer water level monitoring and automatic generator starting and transfer switch.
