40 HP Pump Motor Failure

To all Patrons:

This post is to inform you that the 40 HP Pump motor failed earlier this evening, Friday, March 6th.  This pump is our primary pump for delivering the potable water from the contact chamber into the Distribution mains, and ultimately to the Water District Patrons.  Fortunately, we have on hand a back up motor, and arrangements have been made to replace the motor tomorrow morning.  We continue to operate with the 20 HP pump, but ask that you try to conserve water use through tomorrow, Saturday, March 7th, as we anticipate that the new motor will be installed and the pump will be operating again by 12 noon.  By Patrons' conserving water, we will be able maintain reservoir levels and/or recover quickly.  Thank you.
