Water department will seek bids for two more wells
The Forrest City Water Commission on Tuesday granted permission to Jim Beazley, manager of the Forrest City Water Utility, to bid out two new wells. During the meeting, Beazley told commissioners that the results of one of the most recent well projects are still unknown. Layne Arkansas lowered the screens on the Plant 2 well behind the Forrest City Civic Center, and we havent received the report back on that yet, said Beazley. The well was having problems, and we thought resetting the screens would help it. We hope to have that report soon. I met with the Industrial Development Corporation and they were gracious enough to okay the sites for wells 6 and 7 (in the area of Dawson and Eldridge roads), stated Beazley. Once we get them up and running, it will improve the system.
