Kerman Well 18 Project Reaches Pilot-Hole Drilling Milestone, With Full Completion Still Ahead

KERMAN — CALIFORNIA58 LOCAL. Kerman’s Public Works projects directory identifies Groundwater Well Number 18 as a current municipal water project. The city says pilot-hole drilling has been completed at the site northwest of Round Table Pizza.

Community impact and next steps

Pilot drilling can help engineers examine subsurface conditions before the next stages of well development. The milestone is not the same as a fully equipped production well delivering tested water into the city’s distribution network.

The project is part of Kerman’s broader work on maintaining public water supply infrastructure. Residents can follow Public Works announcements for engineering, construction and water-quality information before drawing conclusions about operational capacity.

Local water projects require regulatory review and technical testing, so a drilling milestone alone does not establish how much water a completed well may provide or when the project will enter service.

Kerman’s department maintains the public project listing and lists 559-550-0848 as a contact for general Public Works questions.
