' > The damage is peculiar - towell lid was broken off (one to <br /> ,s` missing) , but more puzzling is the fact that the casing is shattered down to the grout <br /> seal. <br /> > I've seen plenty of broken well boxes in my time, but I've never <br /> > really seen a casing broken like this. The damage almost seems <br /> > intentional, but I admit that this is pretty unlikely (who would take <br /> > the time out to intentionally damage a well in Flag City) . I suppose <br /> > it's possible that the well lid rotated within the well box, causing <br /> > the casing to shear off, but if this is were the case, why would all <br /> > the pieces of casing plus the well cap still be in the box? Of <br /> > course, perhaps Mike put them in the box. Please see attached photos. <br /> > Anyhow, to temporarily secure the well, our guys managed to place a <br /> > coupling over the exposed casing, and cap it.

Photos of the temporary <br /> > patch are attached to this e-mail. <br /> > We expect that we can repair the well as soon as Thursday. The <br /> > repairs would entail removing the well box, chipping back the grout <br /> > until more of the casing is exposed, placing a coupling and riser on <br /> > the casing, and replacing the well box. Unfortunately, this means <br /> > that the elevation of the casing would logically change, which means <br /> > that we would need to re-survey the well elevation at some point in <br /> > the future. If it's alright with you, in the interests of minimizing <br /> > costs, we would like to hold off on the surveying effort until we have <br /> > more of substantial scope of work for the surveyor. <br /> > Any questions, please give me a call or shoot me an e-mail. <br /> > Thanks, <br /> > --Ron <br /> > Ronald D.
