    • Testing for contaminants such as bacteria, nitrates, metals, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

  • Well Development and Testing:

    • Well development procedures to remove drilling debris, sediment, and other materials from the well bore.
    • Pumping tests to evaluate well performance, drawdown, recovery rate, and sustainable yield.

  • Well Completion and Installation:

    • Installation of well casing, screens, gravel pack, and seals to prevent contamination and ensure proper well construction.
    • Connection of pumping equipment, including submersible pumps, motors, control panels, and piping.

  • Cleanup and Site Restoration:

    • Restoration of the drilling site to its original condition, including grading, reseeding, erosion control, and removal of drilling equipment and debris.
    • Disposal of drilling waste, spoils, and other materials in compliance with environmental regulations.
