Ron Wood Park municipal well (Well 8)
The city's eighth municipal well, meant to add to the water West Jordan can pump for its own system. The adopted FY2027 Water Fund carries $1.4 million for it as a carryover project: $1.15 million in the mayor's budget plus a $250,000 addition. That is a budget line, not a contract price or a total of what has been paid. The well is a separate project from the park's restrooms, parking and fields and from the proposed Ron Wood Park recreation center, which would depend on a county bond vote this November. Latest verified milestone: the mayor's Sept. 14 message called the well "making progress." It does not say the well is operating. Still needed: the operating permit or commissioning record, and the contract, change orders and payments.
