Avista did not come through last night to restore the power to the Grouse Meadows Booster Pump Station, and we heard they will be back on the job this morning. We have not received an ETR.
The Board convened an Emergency meeting this morning at ~7:30 AM to approve replacing a large section (475 feet) of the two inch main pipe on Kitty Lane. We opted for this strategy instead of a spot repair since the main along that stretch of road has been repaired numerous times and continues to be a chronic trouble spot, and will most probably continue to split in the coming months with the change in seasons. This will not be the permanent fix, but should hold us until the upgraded replacement is done as part of the Bond Project scope which has to be approved by DEQ.
