Detailed Explanation of
Well Treatment, Rehabilitation, and Water Levels
 |
Well Treatment or Rehabilitation Work
For
each well specially treated or rehabilitated, enter the well number in the
table that follows, along with a description of the treatment or the
rehabilitation (such as a well deepening, new pump installed, etc.).
Water Levels
The water levels table is intended to provide information about your wells in both their pumping state and nonpumping state. For each well, enter the airline length, which is often the same as the pump setting, or depth to pump. Enter the pressure gage reading for the nonpumping state and the pumping state. (Note that the reading is requested in feet. Some pressure gages measure psi, but this figure can be converted to feet.) Also indicate the pumping rate in gallons per minute. Given the airline length, the pressure readings, and the pump rate, Illinois State Water Survey hydrologists can calculate the specific capacity, or the efficiency of the well.
Water Conservation Practices
Indicate
yes or no. If yes, provide the requested details.
Plans to Increase Treatment or Supply Capacity
If
yes, specify the plans.
Discharge of Water
If
no, you are finished completing the form. If yes, indicate the type of
discharge. If you discharge directly to a stream or other surface water body,
provide your National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
number.
