 MUNICIPAL
WATER WELLS
The majority Rodgers & Company’s large-capacity projects are
water supply wells and pumping systems for municipalities and
communities. The resulting wells have capacities up to several
thousand gallons per minute (gpm). Large well construction often
involves water quality testing, exotic materials such as stainless
steel casing and screen, engineered filter pack materials and
bentonite annular seals.
As the interest in exploring and exploiting deeper aquifers expands,
Rodgers & Company has responded with larger and heavier tooling
to safely work at these greater depths. Large diameter wells are
typically drilled by the reverse rotary method utilizing a high-quality
drilling fluid that ensures aquifer preservation, hole stability
and ease of development. When drilling beyond 3,000 feet, the
direct rotary method is employed.
With access to a complete line of pumps and motors, Rodgers &
Company can supply and install pumping systems to match almost
any condition. Our full service pump shop and experienced installers
are able to respond quickly with the expertise needed to diagnose
and solve pump problems and get the water running again.
