The aquifer water levels in the wells have not been heavily stressed for many years due to relatively mild summers with plenty of rain. The rest of the wells at Firwood (Wells #4, #7 and #8) experienced draw downs similar to Well #6.

Table 3 on the next page shows a comparison of total well production in gallons per well per month for 2017 and 2018.

IV. TOTAL PUMPAGE TO SYSTEM REPORT AND CHARTS

The City was able to produce water to meet 99.58% of the total demand of 424,779,000 gallons (1,164,000 avg/day). No fire events (i.e., extra demand) occurred in 2018 that required city of Dayton or Montgomery County water.

In 2018 we purchased 1,816,000 gallons of water from the city of Dayton. We had several events where we either had power outages or malfunctioning plant controls that prevented Oakwood well pumps from coming on when needed. The pump control PLC’s were replaced in 2018 so this problem should not occur again.
