In a unanimous vote, the Lytle City Council moved Monday to retain an Austin-based hydrogeology firm to evaluate plans to drill a fifth city water well at the site currently occupied by city well number four.
City Administrator Zachary Meadows said that enough land was purchased for an additional well when well number four was drilled at the site. Urged by city engineers Cobb Fendley, the evaluation by Wet Rock Groundwater Services would hopefully confirm the wisdom of that initial decision.
“With our growth and wanting to make sure that makes the most sense as a part of the process of the design, Cobb Fendley is suggesting we engage with Wet Rock to make sure that does truly still make sense,” Meadows said.
Funds to cover the cost of the evaluation is being taken from existing impact fees for the project, he said.
