Details: Lee called to report their well pump stopped working over the weekend (Saturday 9/6) and he notified water customers right away and requested that they conserve water. He brought in water trailers for emergency backup use. According to Lee the system never ran out of water or lost pressure while the pump was out. Their 50,000 gallon reservoir provided enough storage with the water conservation measures being followed. The emergency water trailers were not utilized. The well pump has been repaired and Lee said he is collecting special coliform sample. A boil water advisory was not required since the system never lost pressure.
