Emery learns both town wells are failing, with a new well and treatment estimated at $6 million or more
At its Sept. 9 meeting the Emery Town Council heard from Mayor Jack Funk that inspections found both town wells in poor condition: the 5-inch casing collapsed at 37 feet and the 10-inch well has structural problems serious enough that a new pump could cause further failure. Drilling a new well with treatment for manganese, arsenic, iron and sulfur was estimated at $6,000,000 or more. The council also heard a no-upfront-cost proposal from a private company to supply water as a byproduct of deep mineral extraction, and agreed to ask more questions.
