The new 1,500-foot-deep Sucinto Well was completed in 2024. Site work will be needed to convey Sucinto water to the Orchard Run Treatment Plant for filtration and disinfection. 

The new well, located on Sucinto Drive, replaces 30-year-old Well 3B which has been in decline for several years and is located on the same site. The new well has a design capacity of 300+ gallons per minute and will enhance operational efficiencies for the District, which relies solely on local groundwater supplies. Water produced from this well site will be conveyed to the Orchard Run Water Treatment Plant for filtration and disinfection before it's pumped into the distribution system. View the FAQ.

Construction on the well began in May 2023 but was halted in fall 2023 after the driller’s work was unsuccessful. The District’s Board of Directors selected a new driller through a public process. The driller’s work included destroying the old Well 3B before beginning drilling of the new Sucinto Well. Around-the-clock drilling began in mid-April and concluded in early June. Work was completed in October 2024. 

Funding for the project comes from the District’s Capital Improvement Program.
