The Las Vegas Valley Water District needed to install a deep anode bed in a location with a flowing artesian situation. Research found several costly and time consuming options that were not acceptable. A new, patented technology was adapted for the situation that would allow the abode bed to be installed in an active flowing artesian condition. The installation was successful and succeeded in simultaneous installation of the backfill and sealing the aquifer. The result was a low resistance anode bed, sealing of a flowing artesian aquifer, and prevention of contamination of shallower aquifers.
