Stites Emergency Well

The City of Stites is served by two wells. Their primary well tested positive for E coli, forcing the small community to issue a boil order for extended periods. The existing primary well was located in town and surrounded by housing, public sewer system, and livestock. Therefore, rehabilitation of the existing well was not a viable option. TD&H worked with the community and USDA Rural Development to secure an Emergency Community Water Assistance Grant to pay for the construction of a new well. The new well was drilled and produced more than double the required yield to serve the City.
