Progress Report, Well Drilling, Wednesday, August 13th

Northern Virginia Drilling will return to School Friday, August 15th to repair the broken well lining. They will inject a mixture of concrete and bentonite to fill the hole. This material will cure for approximately three days. The full drill rig will be back on site Tuesday, August 19th to drill down through the sediment and fill material to bedrock, insert an inner liner, and again attempt to measure/test the aquifer to see if it produces an adequate water flow. The "well" is the cylindrical capped PVC pipe in the picture.

Thanks to Harrison Crecraft, Bowman Geothermal, Jack Miller, Northern Virginia Drilling, Farooq Ahmadzai, Potomac Energy Group, and School Trustees Chuck Schwartz and Winfield Sealander for their contributions.
