What will the well look like?
Images of similar wells in the metro area have been included below. Site design is ongoing, but there will be a driveway, a small enclosure, and likely a small (approximately 8'x8') electrical building (see second picture) present on the site. There will not be a typical wellhouse on this site in order to minimize footprint. Note that the second image shows a site still under construction.
