To All Patrons:
The District was not able to repair either of the two major leaks that were found this morning. The Templin Trail leak has now been isolated by closing the valve to that main, but Patrons on S Nugget Dr. and S Reagan Dr. will not have water service until the leak is repaired, which the District is targeting for sometime tomorrow, as they have been able to finally valve off the water to that section of main.
The District has not been able to repair the second leak on Wagon Wheel and this evening the District has had to call in Big Sky, who was not available to the District earlier today and has equipment which is needed to do a careful excavation to uncover a stuck valve that needs to be manually closed to isolate the leaking section of main, and to remove the water from the leak site. This leak, also, is targeted to be repaired tomorrow. Patrons served by the Wagon Wheel Main (upper section of Dillon, Capt John Mullan, and others) will not have water service restored this evening, with the goal to restore service tomorrow.
The transducer in the 100K reservoir has been replaced, and seems to be working. With the loss of water from the leaks today, and the inability to isolate them sooner, the reservoir is still at an uncomfortably low level.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO CONSERVE THE USE OF WATER SO THAT THE RESERVOIR CAN RECOVER!
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.
