Progress Report, Well Drilling Friday, August 1st


Northern Virginia Drilling reached bedrock at 290 feet late Thursday evening. There appears to be approximately 55 feet of sand strata. The well should generate adequate water flow for the School's intended purposes. The firm will now pipe the well and perform several pump tests to generate data for the engineers at Bowman Consulting. Based on the test data Bowman will determine the size/capacity/functionality of the pumping equipment for the building addition. Thanks to Jack Miller, John Brown, and Kent Wilkes, our drilling team.
