“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Dr. King included those words during his stirring address to hundreds of thousands of Americans from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963 – a hundred years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. More than 60 years ago. Many of the specific ills Dr. King noted during that speech – blacks unable to buy homes in white neighborhoods, “whites only” signs in shops and businesses, blacks not allowed to vote in Mississippi – no longer exist in America and haven’t for generations. But has our great nation truly fulfilled Dr. King’s dream? Is everyone truly judged by the content of his character? Or are we still discriminating, in practice if not in law? Are we judging individuals as individuals, or according to some real or perceived … [Read more...]

A BEAUTIFUL WINTER IN NEW HAVEN
Three years of planning and preparation bore fruit in the late winter of 2022-2023, as WellJet® mobilized personnel and equipment from California, across the fruited plain, to New England. Specifically, New Haven, Connecticut. Birthplace of the Knights of Columbus, Yale University, and Frank Pepe’s legendary pizzeria. Founded in 1638, New Haven is also home to the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority (RWA), a nonprofit corporation that provides 45 million gallons a day of water and related services to 430,000 consumers in the region. Staffed by experts known for both their experience and innovation, RWA consistently pursues a Best Practices approach to operating and maintaining the wells that serve the community.

WellJet® Enjoys Biggest Year Ever
In 2022, while celebrating the 10th anniversary of HydroPressure Cleaning, Inc. receiving its patent for the WellJet® process, the company enjoyed its busiest and most successful year to date. Providing patented high-pressure hydrojetting services for water well development and rehabilitation, WellJet® worked consistently throughout California, Arizona and Nevada. WellJet® was fortunate to team up with top drillers and pump companies like Layne/A Granite Company, General Pump, Best Drilling, Taylor Drilling, NorCal, Zim, Barbour, Pacific Coast, Empire Pump, KP Ventures, and many more. We served agricultural, municipal, and water district clients including LADWP, Kern Water Bank Authority, Ventura Water, OMT Farms, Cal Giant, Freitas Brothers, and others. Although jetting has been around at least since the 1960s, prior to WellJet®, it was generally considered to be of limited efficacy – due to low pressures and downhole pressure loss. … [Read more...]
UNPARALLELED POWER OF WELLJET
RESTORING WELL EFFICIENCY IN SANTA MARIA, CALIFORNIA In the heart of California’s Central Coast, halfway between the wineries and barbeques of Santa Maria and the golden sands of the Guadalupe Nipomo Dunes National Wildlife Refuge, lies the fertile agricultural acreage of Betteravia Farms/Bonipak. Since the early 1930s, the Ferini and Ardantz families have poured their love and sweat into feeding America by producing some of the nation’s finest conventional and organic vegetables, from bok choy to romaine hearts. Mindful of their legacy as stewards of the land, Bonipak CEO Joe Leonard has said, “As a family-owned farm, welcoming in our fourth generation of farmers, we understand the importance of preserving our land and natural habitats for generations to come. We are proud to have accomplished a model for cooperation between agricultural businesses and conservation agencies in Santa Barbara County.” Like so many farms in … [Read more...]
