8:45
I purchased nine truckloads of water today and was able to run the pumps for a short time the water situation has not changed but some of you may have had some water for a short period of time the pumps are now all shut off and we have pump the water that we had purchased today more updates in the morning I'm sorry if this was confusing, Mike
8pm update
The crews have dug a 10 foot hole in the filter plant and are just at the point to get to what we believe is the problem connection but they have run into a problem the hole is so deep that the banks are now caving in and we have determined that is unsafe for anybody to be in that hole so we will be without water for tonight the crews will be back out in the morning by 7or 8 AM with shoring and hopefully will be able to have this fixed possibly in the morning I will update the blog regularly. Mike
Update
The construction crews have a 4 foot diameter hole in the concrete and have dug down following the pipe about 6 feet getting close to where we think the break is I will update you when I know more, Mike

Water emergency
We are still in a water emergency situation the raw water feed and the treated water feed at the filter plant are both broken under the building I have crews coming in early in the morning to cut concrete and fix the problem we are optimistic that we should have water flowing by late afternoon or early evening but that would be in a perfect situation, so please prepare to be without water for several days and maybe we will get lucky and it will be sooner than that thanks Mike

Line breaks at filter plant
Today I discovered that the main feeding the filter plant had broken. This break is under the filter plant. We made a temporary fix for this, only to discover that the filterd treated water line is also broken. I have construction crews coming out in the morning. PLEASE CONSERVE WATER!!!!! We may get the lines repaired tomorrow, but nothing is certain. I am asking you to refrain from doing laundry etc. if there is anything you can do to help is very much appreciated. We do not want the reservoir or the system to run out of water. Please do anything you can to conserve water until further notice. I will update this blog regularly. Thank you for your help, Mike.
