"I'm curious what information you have on the new well that the City is having drilled. The information that I heard ( I have no idea how accurate ) is that they are not using traditional drilling methods, but have decided to go with the "latest and greatest" methods used in Europe. I understand these to, of course, be far more expensive that traditional methods, in addition to being unnecessary, since the existing water table/aquifer is well documented.
My understanding is that there are only 2 companies bidding on the project since it must be "sonically drilled" and neither of them are local companies. If my information is at all accurate, my two questions are: Why are we spending more money than necessary? and Why are we taking work away from Shore Companies that are perfectly capable. Let's keep our spending local if possible and cost effective."

"Perfectly capable shore companies"??? Having lived and worked here for nearly 10 years I can tell you truthfully that there arent ALOT of capable ppl around here. Nor are some of the local businesses very competent. I've seen these "competent" ppl and its laughable what they believe to be "working hard".
its Salisbury they city loves to waste money ....ie Ladder Truck and fireboat anyone
There is no new wells being drilled. There are 2 projects:
1. they are adding additional storage to the Paleo water plant and the Mayor held a press conference about that.
2. Next up they will add a 2 million gallon water town on Milford Street.
Where do you get this information?
Now it is *POSSIBLE* that in the 5-10 year projections the City may drill a new well, but there is no current well drilling going on.
Looks like they were bidding something....here is the link for the bid documents http://www.ci.salisbury.md.us/Portals/0/CityGovernment/Bids_quotes_RFQs/116-10%20Well%203%20Test%20Wells%20bid%20doc.pdf
