WATER:
-
The new media in the
roughing filters continues to function very well
and is increasing the capacity of the
"DE" filters. We are now getting
seven (7) day runs on the "DE"
filters. This improved operation has greatly
reduced our backwash water requirements
-
Staff and
Commissioner Elder have met with the rehab
contractor related to the 500,000 gal. storage
tank and repairs have been completed on the tank
(at the contractor's expense). We hope to
have the tank back on line very soon
-
As a mater of
clarification relating to the incident in which
the (new) 100,000 gal water storage tank was
struck by a truck. The facts are as follow:
the tank was hit by a pickup truck which was
driven by a workman working for the company which
was doing the rehab work on the 500,000 gal.
tank. The tank suffered very limited damage
to the exterior. However, when the 500,000
gal tank is back on line the tank which was hit
will be drained, inspected and repaired if
needed, all at the expense of the driver of
the truck that hit the tank

Staff has discovered
and shut-off a major water leak (approx 100 gpm)
