LAUREL HILL — The City Council accepted Thomason Well Drilling's $9,830 bid to repair well No. 3's pump and motor.
The council unanimously approved soliciting the bids at its Dec. 11 meeting, and approved the winning bid at a Dec. 18 special meeting.
Layne Christensen’s $7,531 bid did not include the cost to excavate and remove the pump and the 30-year-old motor, which is expected to fail soon.
Griner Drilling's $11,521 bid did not include removing the old equipment, City Clerk Nita Miller said.
The pump failed in late November, leaving one well to serve the city’s water customers.
