§ 53.06  TRIGGERS.
   Fairmont’s water source is groundwater. The following measurements of well pumping times and well levels in relationship to pump intake levels trigger entry into corresponding water restriction stages.
 
Stage
Well Operating Conditions
1
Pumping Time >10 hrs:
20% reduction in seasonal normal distance from static water level and pump intake, and 20% increase pumping time for same output
2
Pumping Time >12 hrs:
40% reduction in distance from static water level and pump intake, and 40% increase pumping time for same output
3
Pumping Time >14 hrs:
60% reduction in distance from static water level and pump intake, and 60% increase pumping time for same output
4
Pumping Time >20 hrs:
80% reduction in distance from static water level and pump intake
5
Water level at pump intake elevation
