Tulare County supervisors approved on Tuesday paying an additional $260,660 to extend the depth of a newly-drilled well at the Bob Wiley Detention Facility north of Visalia.

It’s part of a $1.5 million project to drill three new wells at county facilities — two at the jail and one at Mooney Grove Park on Visalia’s south end.

The primary well of three at Bob Wiley failed earlier this year, and the two remaining were at risk of failing, too, because of the Valley’s severe drought. Those wells supply water for Bob Wiley and two other county jails — the neighboring Adult Pre-trial Facility and Men’s Correctional Facility — along with the inmate-operated jail farm.

In addition, the waters also is needed to run Bob Wiley’s water-based cooling systems and the jails’ fire-suppression systems.
