Lightning and Disaster Strikes!

I have just been informed that the Cristalina Pump house has been struck by lighting.  We have Valley Pump over there trying to get the system rebuilt as quickly as possible.  I am so sorry that this has happened. I will keep you posted as to the progress.

Water Meter Measurements

I am posting a note from our Water Operator, Dick Unger.

CUSTOMERS ARE CONFUSED REGARDING CUBIC FEET READ ON THERE WATER METERS.

1-CUBIC FOOT OF WATER =7.5 GALLONS
EXAMPLE: 1O CUBIC FEET OF WATER WOULD EQUAL 750 GALLONS
1 GALLON OF WATER WEIGHS 8.34 POUNDS
1-CUBIC FOOT OF WATER EQUALS 62 POUNDS.
THE AVERAGE PERSON USES 80 GALLONS OF WATER PER DAY, THIS INCLUDES BATHING, FLUSHING OF TOILETS, WASH MACHINE, DISHWASHER AND COOKING.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY     DICK
