Update Friday Night - System Recovery

To All Patrons:

Some added detail to the previous post: 

  • Both leaks were repaired and water service has been restored to the Bonanza Patrons who were affected.  There is still some road repair that needs to be done, scheduled for tomorrow.
  • The 20 HP Pump has a new starter.  The 40 HP pump stack has been replaced.  Both pumps were observed to be operating normally.
  • The system auto control system was tested and is operational.
  • Chlorine residual testing has commenced again, the first step to qualifying the water being produced.  The latest information is that the process will take days if all goes well.
In the meantime:

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.
