Test Well Present Well Sodium 8.0 19 Iron 0,13 4.8 conductivi ty 108.0 41 0 Mr. Scannell advised he tried at 75' and 63' and the water was bright red. The good water was at 103 feet from the top of the finished grade, The ref- erence eference point i s 8-9 feet. He further stated the present well is at a depth of 80 feet. He agreed to leave the test well' in until the committee is sat- isfied. Aaron Cohen asked if the building committee was satisfied that the specs have been met and would accept the work by Pilgrim Pump. Ellis stated the work, to the extent done, i s acceptable but Bishop has not fulfilled his contract. To obtain acceptable water he had to go 110 feet below finished grade. He agreed to talk with Mr. Bishop with this report in hand. Mr. Bishop has previously agreed to provide good water, Answering Mr. Cohen, Mr. Scannell stated he felt it was the permanent pump that was in but there is no way of telling. The pump was set by L. Wile & Son of Plympton. Mr. Cohen stated he has received no close out documentation from any of the subs and, from experience, has found the only way to get this i s to withhold a suhstanti al amotint. He stated he requires "Ac built" drawings and a one ,year guarantee in writing and the manufacturer's warantee on the pump to close out the paper work for the well . It was noted the precast is in the site man' s contract. The committee concurred Mr. Bishop's work was not acceptable as substantially completed and that he must go deeper to find acceptable water. Aaron Cohen asked if Bishop does not return what the approximate charge would be for Scannell to cone back and adjust the well , give papers and sketches,
