Short version: We’re still leaking a huge amount. We’re going to try to keep the system running by hauling water, but delivery may be limited. We need the system running to find leaks. We may not be able to do

That’s all folks! As you can see, our total usage peaked at near 16k on the 1st and then it went down to 12k. Leaks don’t fix themselves and we’ve not been made aware of any repairs, nor have we
