WELL MONITORING

  • We are in the process of reading the well network.
  • Two (2) new water level indicators have been purchased.

EMPLOYEES

  • Stephen Guarente ended his tenure as an employee of the BGwT. Stephen had been with the trust since 2005 and the work he performed during that time was outstanding. Stephen has been hired by Haley & Aldrich as a Field Engineer.
  • Anthony Bernardi of Wentworth Institute of Technology was hired and started work on Saturday January 13, 2007. Anthony is a part-time employee of the trust (15-20 hrs./week). His duties will include reading the BGwT observation well network and assisting the Technical Coordinator.

LEVELLOGGERS

  • Our Rugged Reader was sent out for maintenance. The Comm Cable on the unit was replaced and the firmware and software were updated. There was no charge since the unit is under warrenty.
  • Group 5 dataloggers have been installed in 18 wells. Data is scheduled to be uploaded in March.
  • As per agreement with GEI Consultants Inc., loggers (there are a total of 4) installed in and around Cazenove St. continue to be uploaded once a week and sent to GEI Consultants Inc. The purpose is to observe the water levels in the area where the recharge systems have been installed.

ISD Research

  • We continue to look for any underpinned buildings.
