Disinfecting the water system tomorrow morning!

The water operator, Dick, just informed me that he is going to be disinfecting the well and storage tank on Sunday morning.  This will leave the water smelling like chlorine for several days.  It is being used to kill any e-coli in the system.  We will then take follow up water samples and let you know how it goes. 

Thanks for your ongoing patience,

Maria 

Please boil your water!!! E-coli in sample!!!

Due to the low water pressure we had, we just got a water sample back that had traces of e-coli in it. Dick is going to take 5 more samples tomorrow and see where we are at in regards to the water. I will update you as soon as we get those samples back at to what are next step will be. Hopefully since we have had the water pressure back it will not be an issue. If it is we will have to take additional steps.

Word From Our Contractor

Everyone, we installed one stick of pipe yesterday, completed 4 services and one Blow Off (B/O), as we suspected the end of 309th was like a bowl of spaghetti. We had telephone lines, buried power lines and water services to contend with, but the guy's did a great job and did not break anything so no time was lost doing repairs.

We should make better progress today as we move towards 268th, there is a lot of stuff in the ground along 309th but once we turn the corner onto 268th it should open up nicely. We have locates along 309th and 268th so we hope to avoid most breaks, although they do not pick up everything.

I spoke with several neighbors and they are happy to see construction start. I'll try to give a daily update of our progress as time allows.

More to come.
