UPDATE: As of 9:00 PM Sunday, the reservoir is sitting just below 8 feet (maximum is 13 feet). Level is lower than we started this morning, as the potable water trucks were not able to keep up with the total demand today. At this time Water District is manually controlling valves and moving existing water through the sand filters (and will shut off to maintain a minimum level above the filter sand) to refill the contact chamber to try to bring the reservoir level up as much as possible overnight.
Thank you to all the Patrons for minimizing their water use throughout today.
Please continue to minimize water to essential use only until notified.
Contractor will be onsite tomorrow morning, and after equipment is in place, will begin excavating to uncover the broken main in order to make repairs. It is estimated that Traffic Control will be in place beginning around 9:00 AM on Sunnyside Road near the filter plant as one lane will need to be shut down. Please use alternate routes if possible.
Please check the KCWD#1 blog at www.kcwd1.blogspot.com for updates, and let your neighbors know about this water system emergency, as not all Patrons have subscribed to the emergency notification system or blog.
