To all Patrons:
As of 11:00 AM this morning, it seems that power has been restored to most of the District. Unfortunately, Grouse Meadows' power still hasn't been restored, so the Booster Pump Station that serves that area is also still down, so those Patrons still do not have water service.
If you missed last night's late update, power was restored to the Main Pump House on Sunnyside and the generator was disconnected at 7:00 PM. Still no communication lines between the Raw Water Intake Pump House and the Main Pump House, and the last update we got is that it may be Monday when those lines will be repaired. This means that the Raw Water Intake pumps must be manually turned on and off.
As of last night, there were only 16 cases of drinking water left at the Fire Station. Please do not take one if you do not need it!
AGAIN A REMINDER! 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.
Thank you to the Patrons that have responded by emailing us an emergency phone contact number, or updated their numbers. My last count was that I still have about 50 Patrons that have not provided us with a contact number, and there are a number that need to update our records as the calls did not seem to go through on the numbers we have on file. So keep reminding your neighbors about how important it is to email the District with that information at custserv.kcwd1@gmail.com.
Wanted to make everyone aware of the tireless work that JD Owen has done, especially over the last five days, during this emergency. He is everywhere, it seems, in the District checking to make sure we are recovering the system. If you see him, give him a shout out "Thank you!"
