Deep Well No. 7

Cochran partnered with the City of Union to strengthen its long-term water supply capacity through the development of Deep Well No. 7, a critical infrastructure investment designed to enhance system reliability and support future community growth. The new 750-gallon-per-minute well provides an additional source of high-quality drinking water while increasing the resilience of the City’s water distribution system.

From project planning through construction, Cochran delivered comprehensive engineering services, including conceptual planning, surveying, site design, grading, architectural and structural design, electrical and control systems, permitting, bidding, construction inspection, and testing. Early in the process, our team worked closely with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to identify regulatory considerations and establish a clear path forward, helping to streamline approvals and reduce project risks.

The project required a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to ensure the new well facility was efficiently integrated into the City’s existing water system while meeting operational, regulatory, and reliability objectives. By combining thoughtful planning with proven engineering solutions, Cochran helped deliver a dependable water supply asset that will serve the community for years to come.

Designed in 2013 and completed in 2014.
