To All Patrons:
The Kitty Lane main replacement was completed this afternoon around 3:00 PM, with all services tied in. By 4:30 PM water pressure was recovered to higher elevation properties in the Bonanza area that were affected by this main break. Work remaining on this job includes the back fill and road resurfacing of Kitty Lane.
Hydrant flushing will continue tomorrow, and chlorine residual readings will continue to be taken. When we have readings of 0.1 on the chlorine residuals, we will begin collecting the water samples for lab testing as the next step to determine when the the system is producing water which meets all DEQ requirements.
Good news. Ziply came through this afternoon and spliced in new communications cables, so the District was able to switch back to auto controls between the Raw Water Intake Pump House to the Main Pump House, auto controlling the demand to the sand filters from the lake.
EVENING 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.
