Iowa American, MercyOne Genesis, Scott County partner for new well in Davenport
Iowa American Water is partnering with MercyOne Genesis and the Scott County Emergency Management Agency to drill a new water well source that will be mutually beneficial to MercyOne Genesis, Iowa American Water and customers in the Iowa Quad Cities, a news release says. Ground was broken for the new well on a site near the hospital's East Campus in December 2024. When it is complete, the $5.6 million well project will provide a water source near MercyOne Genesis to help ensure an uninterrupted water supply to its East Campus. In addition, the project will provide water to the area more efficiently by using less energy than pumping water from the treatment facility on the Mississippi River in Davenport. The initial phase of work is scheduled to be completed in June 2025. 'Mercy One Genesis has wanted a secondary water source at our East Campus for years becausethe loss of water is the worst utility a health system can lose,' said Kevin Rossmiller, executivedirector of construction & design at MercyOne Genesis. 'When Iowa American Water heard about this desire, they reached out to me about partnering with us on this project. The new water well will not only support Genesis but also the surrounding neighborhood. I couldn't be happier with the level of expertise, support, knowledge, and service the Iowa American Water team provides.' The project involves drilling a 1 million-gallon-per-day ground well near the MercyOne GenesisEast Campus. This project will ensure uninterrupted supply of water to the hospital and through a future phase of this project to provide treatment of this water to help serve all customers in the Quad Cities district. 'This partnership with MercyOne Genesis on a new well to serve as a backup for the health system in the event of an outage provides another level of protection for the health, safety, and peace of mind of the health system. It also builds additional resiliency into our distribution system that benefits our other customers as well' said Brad Nielsen, president of Iowa American Water. The investment is another example of continuous improvements and proactive investments being made to help meet the demands of customers while planning for the future. These types of investments are needed across the nation to maintain critical infrastructure. According to the American Water Works Association, the leading trade association serving thecountry's water industry, at least $1 trillion is needed over the next 25 years to maintain and replace the nation's outdated water and wastewater systems. Iowa American Water has been addressing this challenge by investing about $40 million annually in water treatment and distribution system improvements in the nine communities it serves.
