Haller Wellfield South

Project Description

To meet growing water demands, the City is increasing raw water production capacity from its Haller Wellfield South located in Haller Park.   This project will install two additional production wells and upgrade the pump house and pumping equipment.  The City first looked for alternate water sources as part of its Water Source Expansion Project (follow link) before deciding to add two additional wells at the Haller South Wellfield.   In order to treat additional water being pumped from the Haller Wellfield South, the City is also engaged in a Water Treatment Expansion Project (follow link). These projects will ensure the Arlington community has a long-term source of clean drinking water for the future.
