Water pressure should be back to normal now...

We had a new leak in the pumphouse today. It has been fixed. If you were wondering why water pressure was low today...tha was why. Ugh! 2 leaks in a week!
Hope your day is going better!

Change of Plans - Leak Repair Tomorrow!

We just received this notice from Dick Unger:

DUE TO EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS, RANDY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO START REPAIRING THE LEAK UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING, SORRY FOR THE DELAY.

This is good news for those of you who had not been notified yesterday! Customers who live on 309th between 268th and the Kent Langley Road will be without water tomorrow from 9:00 a.m. to approximately 3 p.m. Please tell your neighbors or anyone who is not on our email list!

Leak Repair on 309th

Our office received notice this morning that the leak on 309th Avenue will continue to be repaired today and some customers will not have water until later this afternoon (approximately 3 p.m.). Dick Unger called as many people as possible yesterday but may not have been able to reach everyone. We are sorry for the short notice (or no notice if you weren't called). To help prevent this in the future we ask that you email cristalinawater@gmail.com with your contact numbers.

Thanks for your help!

Pump House needs new roof.

The pump house is going to need a new roof this summer. It is a small roof and would be interested in getting some bids from anyone interested in doing the work. I thought I would check with those that live on the system that might need the work first. Thanks! Maria

Leak on 309th being worked on today

It is my understanding that there is a leak on 309th and that Novastar Construction is going to be working on that today. I am not sure if they are going to shut the water off or not. I am assumming they will let me know, but if there is an outage of service today...that would be the reason. Hope everyone is enjoying the weather!

Water Conservation

A message from our water operator:

Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner. That means we wil be planting gardens and greening up our lawns. We would appreciate it if all of our customers would conserve water this Summer. One (1) inch of water a week is all a lawn requires to stay healthy and green. You can put out an empty tuna can and when it is full from sprinkling or irrigation, you have met your water requirements for the week. Try to use water wisely, it's important.

During the Summer months when we consume a lot of water the wells are running constantly and so are the booster pumps in the well house. Pumps require some sleep time just like you and me. To replace a pump or booster pump the price can be as high as $1000.00. Also our electric bill is $1000.00 a month or more. Please keep this in mind as the weather warms and you spend more time watering.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation regarding this request.

As our old friend Ben Franklin said over 270 years ago, "When the well runs dry, we know the worth of water."
