<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br /> <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Jerry L. Hodge, Director of Public Works <br /> <br />DATE: March 16, 1983 <br /> <br />FROM: Luther Maxey, Water/Wastewater Superintendent <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Well No. 5 (25th Street) <br /> <br />On Thursday, March 3, 1983, Larry Behrens along with his Field Engineer from <br />Layne Texas Water Well Service, checked well #5. <br /> <br />Our observation was excess shaft wobble due to thrust bearing play. According <br />to Layne Texas representatives, there are downhole bearings beginning to go <br />out, as well as, the surface thrust bearing. Their concensus was that the <br />bearing failure is due to normal wear. <br /> <br />The labor cost to pull the column shaft from downhole would be EIGHT THOUSAND <br />DOLLARS ($8,000.00). Parts cost is unknown, as each bearing and pump stage <br />will have to be checked as it is extracted from the well casing. An average <br />cost would be FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS ($4,000.00), thus making the total estimated <br />cost of the job TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($12,000.00). <br /> <br />If you should have any questions, please advise. <br /> <br />LM/lw <br />
