The emergency phone message that went out this morning reached enough Patrons to not only halt the continued drop of the reservoir level, but as of around 6:00 PM this evening, the water level is back up close to five feet. THANK YOU ALL!
Also contributing to the improvement today, the Vista Booster small holding tank was being filled via a potable water delivery truck, allowing the valve from that booster station to be closed most of the day, so that it would not draw from the main reservoir. Another truck will be at the Vista Booster station within the hour to top it off for the evening.
Our goal is to keep all of the mains pressurized until a 40 HP pump is brought back on line.
SO PLEASE CONTINUE TO MINIMIZE WATER USE UNTIL FURTHER DISTRICT NOTIFICATION!
Repair Status: The old 40 HP pump has been delivered to Premier Electric, and they will be trying to repair it. However, we believe that our other service provider has been able to obtain the necessary hardware to install the new 40 HP pump tomorrow. If all goes well, we should be back up and running by late tomorrow evening.
