<br />BACKGROUND:
<br />The Riverside Public Utilities Department (RPU) operates and maintains 52 active groundwater wells
<br />located throughout Riverside, Colton, and San Bernardino to supply drinking water to the City of Riverside.
<br />Over time, wells lose efficiency. Most often, this drop is due to mechanical problems such as the gravel
<br />pack and screens within the well becoming plugged or pumps losing efficiency due to wear and tear. Other
<br />times, wells become less efficient due to large changes in groundwater levels. As a result, groundwater
<br />wells and pump assemblies require periodic maintenance and rehabilitation work.
