Project Overview
Wells #2R and #3R represent a collaborative effort between J-U-B ENGINEERS, Inc. and the City of West Richland to enhance water infrastructure and ensure high-quality drinking water for the community. These projects involved thoughtful planning, testing, and design innovation to address both technical and aesthetic water quality needs.
Site Assessment and Pilot Studies
Well #2R was designed to replace an existing well. A pilot well was first drilled to evaluate the impact of a nearby fault line and to assess potential pumping and recovery rates before proceeding with full-scale design. Well #3R, in contrast, did not require a pilot well and moved directly into the drilling and design phases.
Following well development, J-U-B conducted a pilot treatment study to evaluate water quality treatment options. A community taste-testing panel was convened to rate taste, odor, and overall aesthetic quality of the treated water samples. Based on the panel’s input, the air stripping tower was selected as the most effective treatment method.
Well House Design and Features
Both Well #2R and #3R were equipped with comprehensive well house systems, including:
-
Deep vertical turbine pumps
-
On-site chlorine generators
-
Air stripping towers
-
Booster pumps
These features were integrated into the design to ensure water quality, reliability, and long-term operational efficiency.
Commitment to Community and Quality
This project underscores J-U-B’s commitment to delivering innovative and community-centered water solutions. Through collaboration, technical expertise, and a focus on water aesthetics as well as safety, J-U-B continues to support the sustainable growth and wellbeing of West Richland.
