A100-66: AWWA Standard for Water Wells (PDF)

Because of the broadness of the field and the fact that this standard covers construction, rather than materials or equipment alone, it cannot be used verbatim, but must be supplemented and modified by the user to fit the particular needs and conditions of his own case. Although the standard should be of considerable help in the preparation of contract documents, its use will not obviate the necessity of careful study of each individual problem nor lessen the desirability of obtaining competent technical advice for the larger more unusual installations. The following sections are included: permits, certificates, laws and ordinances, location, local conditions, boundaries of work, protection of site, general description of the well, facilities or materials furnished by owner, casings, well screens testing, test pump, auxiliary equipment, duration of test, grouting material, placement of grout, grouting liners, requirement to test for plumbness and alignment, time of disinfection, chlorine solution, requirements for disinfection of test pump, samples of formations, record of casting pipe, record of material removed during development, liquidated damages, daily reports, precautions to be taken, corrective work, freedom from sand and turbidity, temporary capping, and the abandonment of the well. Included in the appendix is information on the following: the various types and forms of proposal, unit price method, lump sum method, guaranteed yield method, forms of measurement and compensation clauses, information relative to local conditions, a description of the work, well casings, well screens, testing for yield and drawdown, grouting and sealing, plumbness and alignment, disinfection, protection of water quality, and sealing abandoned wells.
