BACKGROUND:
The City of Naperville's Water Utility maintains eight (8) emergency standby deep wells, which are operated and sampled monthly to ensure they will function when needed. The emergency standby well system will provide the City with water in the event of a prolonged interruption of the delivery of water from the DuPage Water Commission. All the wells in the system were last rehabilitated prior to the City receiving Lake Michigan Water. The goal of the program is to rehabilitate all of the City's eight wells within an eight-year period. To date, wells #16, #24, and #31 have been rehabilitated and are back in service.
In August 2017, the Water Utility issued Bid 17-158 for rehabilitation, equipment replacement and reactivation of Deep Well #20.
