Mendocino Pump House

Over two decades ago the 260 foot upper well was drilled, and a 4 x 8 ft. concrete slab was poured for a pump house. The well controls were mounted on a temporary wall with a piece of metal roofing leaned up against it. Power to the well was buried with the water main line from the lower house, and can be seen in the photo snaking up from the ground behind the wall and into the grey main control box. Over two decades later the temporary wall is rotten and needs to be replaced. This time we'll actually build a pump house over the well head. The pump house design needs to accommodate service access by boom truck to pull the submersible pump for replacement sometime in the next decade. The new pump house will be built with a low profile and a removable roof. January 2007.
