| Details: | PR 48-2021 - Rockydale Well Restoration Project 10.07.2025- The operator reported that the wells are not yet online. The system is still waiting for final documentation from Civil West Engineering, specifically from Engineer Dan Vaage at the Albany office. Water Quality & Coagulation Concerns During a recent Zoom consultation, Engineer Dan Vaage raised a critical concern: the potential for Rockydale water to further complicate the existing coagulation challenges. The operator is particularly concern given the observed presence of an algae bloom occurring approximately 800 feet upstream of our water intake. The combination of the algae bloom and the potential contribution from Rockydale water poses a heightened risk to treatment efficacy. Next steps: The operator will provide an update as soon as documentation from Civil West Engineering is received and reviewed. |
