Update Friday Morning - System Recovery

To All Patrons:

An excavation crew began work this morning on the Templin Trail - Nugget leak, and will move to the Wagon Wheel leak after the first repair.  The District is grateful to John Shields for coming out to assist yesterday, and returning today, to complete these repairs to the mains.

Back at the Main Pump House, RC Worst has returned to work on the pumps, and Matt Johnson of Wapiti Consultants will be working on getting the control system back to full operational status.

By being able valve off the leak at Templin Trail, the reservoir was able to begin recovery.  The level was at 12.6 ft around 8:00 AM this morning.  Thank you, Patrons, for conserving water use over the last few days!  Please continue to use water wisely over the next day or so, as we get these leaks repaired.

JD Owen was meeting with Paul Sifford, our interim Water System Charge Operator, this morning.  When information becomes available about where the District stands currently with respect to qualifying the water being produced, the blog will be updated.

THE ENTIRE DISTRICT IS STILL UNDER A BOIL ORDER.

DO NOT DRINK ANY WATER COMING FROM THE SYSTEM AT THIS TIME UNLESS YOU HAVE BOILED THE WATER FOR AT LEAST ONE MINUTE.

THE WATER, AS SUPPLIED, CAN BE USED FOR ALL NON-POTABLE USES INCLUDING TOILET FLUSHING, LAUNDRY, SHOWERS (DO NOT DRINK!), AND LIVESTOCK.

THE DISTRICT WILL NOTIFY PATRONS WHEN THE WATER PRODUCED BY THE SYSTEM HAS TESTED AS BEING SAFE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
