Central Front Yard near the Flagpole and the Boat
Launch The Fresh Water Well is a “dug well”
constructed in 1965 with three (3) concrete circular tiles each four feet (4
FT) diameter and three feet (3 FT) deep. The well has an in-well pump setup
on a “pit-less” quick disconnect decoupler housed inside a six-inch (6 in)
PVC pipe. The pump is a one-half
Horsepower (1/2 HP) drilled well type pump.
The pump is operated by electric supply at twenty amps, two hundred,
thirty volt (20 Amp, 230 V) on electric breakers #10 and #12 in Subpanel
One (1) located in the Garage. There is a direct pressurized water
take-off and combination drain valve installed just above the pump that
supplies Fresh Well Warte to a Hydrant
Post at the RV Pad. just under the Blue
Well-Head Cover There is an Iron
Rod Handle that operates the Fresh Water Talke-Off Valve deep inside of
the well head casing just above the Back Flow Check Valve at the pump. Well
Lights are available with “Flood Lights” on the Lamp Pole at the well to
illuminate The Docks and Boat Launch area. The Well Lights are operated from
the switch plate just inside the Garage side entry way door. The Well Lights are on Braker #16 in Subpanel One (1). The Well

The Iron Pole Handle to the Fresh
Water alternate water supply at the RV Pad. With the Well Head Cover off note
the hole in the end of the handle of a crescent wrench over the Iron Pole
Handle that operated the Pressurized Water Takeoff to either open the water
supply to the hydrant station at the RV Pad or to
shut off the water and drain the vertical supply line back into the
well. Note the three-quarter Inch (3/4
in) black take-off water line and the bent wire hanger over the side of the
PVC housing to hold the Iron Pole Handel in the Upright Position to keep open
the Supply Valve.
At the front of the well and below
the top cover stones is an access valve to the
supply line from the well to the hydrant at the RV Pad. The valve is used to drain the supply line
by “blowing-them-out” with pressurized air.
Note the shutoff valve at the
hydrant post at the RV Pad.
