Details: SUMMARY: Disinfection Feed Pump Troubleshooting DETAILS: The city owns and operated a groundwater system that serves approximately 1475 persons through 683 connections. The system source is a well. HBH was contacted by William Goss to provide assistance with improving the installation of the sodium hypochlorite disinfection system. Air in the feed pump line is giving the water system problems. Inspection of the pump connection revealed direct connection to the water main, which would allow air from the pipe to enter the pump feed line. I provided preliminary recommendations for improving the NaOCI feed pump installation. I provided written recommendations to the water system. ACTION NEEDED: None needed at this time.
