To all Patrons:
The District believes that all system pump houses are powered and working. The communication line is not yet repaired between the Raw Water Intake Pump House and the Main Pump House, so we are still manually managing the water flow from the lake to the sand filters. No ETR from Spectrum for that line repair.
We also have our electrical contractor coming in to troubleshoot the 100K gallon reservoir transducer as the Main Pump House is getting erroneous readings on the reservoir level that communicates to the Main Pump House.
The replacement of the large section of the Kitty Lane two inch main is close to completion, and the cut over to the new pipe is scheduled to be completed this afternoon.
Hydrants are being flushed and testing of the water being produced, starting with chlorine residuals, is under way. The District is following a process outlined by our local DEQ Compliance officer, and guided by our interim Water Charge Operator, Paul Sifford, to determine when the the system is producing water which meets all DEQ requirements for potable water.
DAILY 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.
