Construction will finally

 

Engineer Gary Tysinger of Tysinger, Hampton & Partners said the 500-foot deep test well is ready to be drilled, and all components of the test well will be incorporated into the permanent project. Tysinger said after the well is drilled, a drawdown test will be done, followed by water analysis. He said that hydrogeologist Robert Benfield will be working closely with Casey Well Drilling on the well site. The well will cost about $87,700. Drilling of a previous test well was halted due to insufficient equipment.

 

Tysinger said work on the storage tank site will then begin, and he anticipates the distribution part of the project will be bid out in February or March 2010.

Army post shooting rampage leaves 13 dead, 30 hurt

 

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) -- Military officials were starting today to piece together what may have pushed an Army psychiatrist trained to help soldiers in distress to turn on his comrades in a shooting rampage that killed 13 people and wounded 30 in Texas.

 

The suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, was on a ventilator and unconscious in a hospital after being shot four times during the shootings at the Army's sprawling Fort Hood, post officials said. In the early chaos after the shootings, authorities believed they had killed him, only to discover later that he had survived.
