Reservoir was never drained, but lost 5 ft. down to 8 ft.
The distribution system lost pressure due to an lengthwise split in an 8 in. pipe. (Some pipe-scouring occurred as well.) But the pipe always had some positive pressure. Best Management Plans were sent to the operator. ACTION: Patch leak. Flush area with chlorinated water. Take two sets (of at least two) coliform samples at least 16-hours apart before lifting the Advisory. Lifted 10/15/2020: The main leak was fixed just before midnight Tuesday 10/13. 16 hours later, coliform samples were taken from 3 different locations. All came back negative. |
