The Guam Waterworks Authority may approve a construction contract this week to expand the Northern Guam Lens Aquifer s monitoring system.
It s part of a larger effort to rehabilitate and increase the monitoring capacity of the northern aquifer, which supplies the vast majority of the island s drinking water.
Waterworks, funded by about $3 million from a Department of Defense grant, aims to have 13 existing monitoring wells at the Northern Guam Lens Aquifer rehabilitated by the end of the year.
A construction contract for the existing wells renovation was awarded to a joint venture between Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company and Core Tech International. Three to four wells are fully refurbished so far, according to GWA General Manager Miguel Bordallo.

You can help protect the island’s sewer system by taking two very simple steps that won’t even cost you a dime.
The first step is to not dump your fats, oils and grease generated in food preparation and cooking down the sink or toilet. Instead, collect them in safe containers.
Step two is to drop your collected fats, oils and grease at one of two Guam Waterworks Authority sites: Upper Tumon; and Dededo, between the Mayor’s Office and the Senior Center. The Upper Tumon bin is available 24 hours a day; the Dededo bin is available from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
