Northern Virginia Drilling reached bedrock 293 feet below the School's parking lot. The drillers installed porous screens, a PVC well wall, and a large quantity of sand to filter and purify the water in the aquifer. As the initial test of water volume was underway the PVC well liner exploded at approximately 86 feet below the parking lot filling the bottom of the well with silt. At the time the wall collapsed the well was producing approximately 100 gallons per minute and the water temperature was a chilly 57 degrees.
Several options are currently under consideration.
