Update 5:00 PM: After a long day of searching, we believe we have found a large contributor to the problem of the nightly depletion of the reservoir. We have found a leak on a six inch main along the bottom of Mullan Trail Rd. We are in the process of valving it off, but believe this main is part of a loop, so should have minimal impact to Patrons on the west side of the District. Those Patrons in Grouse Meadows, and other Patrons in that area, may see some reduction in pressure as the shutting of that valve will mean that water is being fed to the Grouse Meadows Booster station only through the Shiras main. The only Patron on that main uses his own well water.
The reservoir has only reached a level of 1.1 feet since this morning (full is 14.5 feet), so please continue to keep outside irrigation off and continue to use water for only essential purposes until we can report on the reservoir recovery.
Thank you.
