Month: December 2022

The hard work has started to pay off. We very slightly outproduced the leaks and normal demand in the last 24 hours. Tonight’s data does not include, for the full 24 hours, any repairs for today, and we know of

We’ve fully repressurized the system. We’ll run until we’re at critical water levels in the storage tank and then we shut down until it recharges. There’s not much else we can do until all the major breaks are discovered and

We’re going to shut down tonight from 10PM to 8AM. The storage tank needs to refill and, as we knew would happen, the wells are starting to produce a bit less due to constant use. We can’t sustain spending $1,000

It looks like we’ve isolated enough issues to hold through the night. Temps are in the mid 30s right now, but will fall below freezing shortly. Tomorrow will be warmer and tomorrow night will be above freezing all night. We

We repressurized the system this morning about 8AM. We had a delivery from Fresh Water Haulers (great people to work with) of about 4,600 gallons. We’re trying for another this afternoon. We’re still consuming more than we produce, so we’ll

Based on consumption from 10PM to 11PM and the current level of the tank, we’re still losing ground. We’ve turned off the valve sending water into the system. If we did not, the pumps would be in danger of damage

We’ve been running since 11AM this morning. At last check we were not out of the woods, but we’re getting there. We’ll take some additional consumption numbers here in a bit. Based on what we find, we may need to

We capped another leak this morning and began pressurizing the system at about 11AM. A single pump is holding pressure at 52psi into the lines running constantly. That’s better than yesterday. Our system pushes in cycles from 40-60psi. If the

After all the fixes so far and a few new ones during the day while we pressurized, the boosters still can’t gain on pressure or reach a shutoff point where the system alternates to the other pump to relieve it.

Our storage tank is about half full and the pressure tank is primed and ready. Things turned out well with our booster pumps (the pumps that provide the pressure), so that’s good news. We’d like to start the system back

The system has been turned off for the evening, at least. We’re empty. Our wells, running 24/7 and staying within our required blending ratio provided us 20,470 gallons. Unfortunately, our normal consumption plus all the breaks from frozen pipes caused

We restarted the water system yesterday (Saturday 24th, Christmas Eve) evening about 5PM. As usual, when the system is depressurized, we’re automatically under a boil water notice. This is a state regulation we need to comply with. We know it’s
