We&#8217;ve also been reconnected to our old well line and discontinued using the temporary above ground pipe.  This morning we found a good sized ice flow in the road on the southern end of Hemlock.  Pillsbury Excavating is on site now repairing that leak.  Once complete, we&#8217;ll check the usage tonight and have a solid number by tomorrow night.  If we&#8217;re in significantly better shape, we&#8217;ll have samples tested and hopefully lift the boil water notice once cleared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We still anticipate, based on consumption, an additional one or two leaks.  We&#8217;ve found some minor leaks (typically drips due to small splits forming ice on connections and valves), but not any significant enough to affect our overall demand.  <strong>Heating cable\/tape is critical to protecting the last foot or two of supply line and all of your connection line to the system.<\/strong>  These heating elements should be replaced every 5 years, though often work well for 10.  We&#8217;ve found 20 year old cable\/tapes out there causing issues, and that&#8217;s a big part of the system failures this year.  We discussed several ideas at Monday&#8217;s board meeting regarding standardizing, certifying, maintenance requirements and demarcation issues.  We certainly don&#8217;t want a repeat of this winter on a yearly basis, so expect budget proposals to help address these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/sgc.coop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sgc.coop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image.png 800w, https:\/\/sgc.coop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/sgc.coop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-768x574.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a bit more system downtime and a leak repair, we started gaining a bit in the out vs. in war.
