The city well house has a steel door with a steel frame grouted to the concrete block. Both are very corroded from chlorine.
Any ideas about a door or finish that will stand up better?
I’ve never replaced a grouted in frame before. Any tips?

There's a constant source of clean water for you to use, and all you have to do is collect it.

I often see fiberglass doors and frames used on wellhouse chemical rooms. Make sure the knob and latch are high quality stainless, I've seen cheap stainless hardware break out in rust in no time flat in that application.
If they are adding fluoride to the water, that's probably contributing to the corrosion as well. They may want to look at doing a better job of sealing up their chemical barrels, chances are everything else in there is corroding (like electrical conduit,etc.)
I wondered about fiberglass. I'll talk to them about sealing up the barrels better.Thanks
