Details: | The morning of 9/9/2024 I received a follow up complaint from a resident served by Gramada Terrace Water System, #41-05530. The complainant says they lost water again yesterday. Complainant also says that the operator(s) told her they "won't have reliable water until it rains". (Operators did not tell me this directly.) I then called Robert Hurley, the water system operator; I spoke with Carol Hurley who says that her husband ordered a 500 gallon tank of drinking water last week to provided for residents on that system, but the tank has not arrived yet. Carol added that although the system has two 3,000 gallon storage tanks, and one 800-1,000 gallon pressure tank, their well just is not producing water and is drying up. She proposed the idea of connecting residents to Rainier city water, which is apparently supplying homes that are just adjacent to those supplied by this system, though that practicality is unconfirmed. Carol added that their home does not have running water either, so it is presumed that the whole system might be out of water at this time. I then forwarded this matter to Oregon DWS and Columbia County Emergency Management. |
