Thank you to all Patrons who continue to conserve water use!
Please continue your conservation until we have a complete repair of the 40 HP Pump!
Patrons' efforts to conserve water use since the 40 HP pump failure last week has allowed the reservoirs to be fully recovered AND we have even been able to periodically rest our overheating 40 HP Pump during low demand times so that we can cool it down. We have also been using external fans to try to keep the temperature down, but the pump motor is still operating at a temperature level that puts the pump at risk of failure.
We have a new motor fan being received this week and we are hoping that by replacing the current motor fan, we will see temperatures come down in the pump motor. Since this is not a sure thing, we have also placed an order for a complete new pump motor at the cost of ~$5000.00 which is due to arrive middle to late next week.
Please monitor this blog for information regarding the timing of the pump motor replacement and possible water service interruptions that may occur during the repair. We anticipate that the motor replacement will take the better part of a day.
