The reservoir level this morning was approximately half at 7.1 feet, not as high as yesterday, but much better than previous weeks. We believe that the conservation efforts are working, but there are still a few Patrons who need to review their landscape watering, as they are affecting their neighbors at higher elevations.
The leak on Mullan Trail has been repaired, and the isolation valves have been re-opened. Patrons in the Forest Lake development, and others, whose service is provided by the Shiras and Mullan Trail Mains loop should see an improvement in water pressures.
Thank you to everyone for cooperating with the detour while the Mullan Trail main was being repaired. We are not quite finished with that repair as we must repave the road there. It has been difficult to find an available paving company for this relatively small piece of work, and we are fortunate to have a Patron in this business here in the District. He will be able to do the repaving sometime next week. In the meantime, please slow down as you drive over the gravel patch to minimize the need for reworking the area that must be repaved.
The Control system is still exhibiting some abnormal behavior, so Water District personnel will be closely monitoring through the weekend to manually ensure that the system is consistently and optimally producing water. Monday we hope to begin work on installing the new PLC's and testing the programming logic.
