Board orders proper closure of decommissioned Well 3

The board voted to authorize work to properly cap and seal a decommissioned municipal well after staff said it had not been closed according to current standards. A staff member told the board the well was shut down in 1998–99 but "it wasn't captain sealed" and described the required chemical fill-and-concrete method now required for closure.

The staff member described size-related cost estimates, saying, "If it's a 12 inch, it'd be 4,000." Chair moved to accept a roughly $14,000 quote to carry out the cap-off work; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board instructed staff to proceed with the closure and follow through on procurement and permitting steps. No specific contractor name for the cap-off was recorded in the transcript.
