Document Description
LADWP plans to replace the existing sole source Well 402, which currently supplies water for a nearby enhancement/mitigation project in Symmes-Shepherd Wellfield. In recent years the well has experienced mechanical problems including sanding and decreasing pumping capacity. In particular the well cannot supply enough water to the project during late summer which has impeded mitigation efforts. The replacement well will have the same design as the existing well and no site preparation or grading is needed. Drilling fluid will be confined in settling tanks and drill cuttings will be removed from the site when work is complete.
