Templin Trail Leak #5 Repaired

Templin Trail Leak #5 has been repaired, and the isolation valve opened this afternoon.  The valve will remain partially closed to lower the risk of another blow out on this main.  Templin Trail Patrons will experience lower than normal water pressures.  For those affected Patrons on the Templin Trail main, please use the following guidelines for low pressure:

What should you do if your water pressure drops below 20 PSI?

•     Continue to use your water for showering, clothes washing, dish washing, cooking, etc.
•     Continue to use water to wash your hands using soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
•     Flush your water lines if discoloration occurs.

The District Board is awaiting estimates by outside contractors to replace several hundred feet of the two inch main where numerous breaks have been occurring over the past days and years.  The current plan is to get this work done next week.  

     Although this replacement will not be the final work required to bring this main up to current codes, the goal is to stabilize this part of the Distribution system until the Facility Engineering Plan work is scheduled.
