40 HP Pump Repaired - Continue to Conserve

The 40 HP pump is back on line and we are pumping water to the clear well/contact chamber.  There are some reported outages of water service at higher elevations, so please continue to minimize water use over the next 24 hours, in order to allow the system to recharge, and enable water service to all patrons.  Thank you for your help.

40 HP Pump Has Failed Again!

40 HP Pump has Failed Again!  PLEASE MINIMIZE WATER USAGE IMMEDIATELY!

As we had feared, it appears that the 40 HP pump that keeps our distribution mains pressurized has failed again. At this time, we believe it is the installed rebuilt pump motor that we used to get the pump running again in July.  Fortunately, we procured a new pump motor as a back up, and we have various sevice people on site at this time to replace the failed motor.  However, it is unclear at this time whether the pump impeller stack has also failed.  The repairs will take at least a day, and as we only have a 20 HP motor working to keep the clear well filled, patrons, especially at the higher elevations may experience water service interruption.

We will post updates here as we get them!
