Details: | SUMMARY: Spring Production Troubleshooting DETAILS: The Cedarhurst Improvement Club owns and operates a Ground Water system, which supplies approximately 70 people through 32 connections. The system’s source is a low output spring. The spring water is chlorinated with liquid sodium hypochlorite. HBH was contacted by Amy Kim to provide emergency assistance with troubleshooting of the spring production. Production from the spring had decreased to a level which would not support the basic demands of the system. Due to the production issue, the water system had lost pressure on a few occasions. HBH previously visited the system, inspected the spring box, and assisted system volunteers in digging out sediment in the spring box to determine whether the flow of the box was compromised. Discovered flow of water was not coming through the spring infiltration pipe. Recommended that the system test the spring flow after all of the sediment was removed from the box. Also recommended testing flow at the spring box itself to determine if the problem may be in the transmission piping. At the request of the water system Board, attended community meeting to provide technical insight as to the problems facing the community water supply. ACTION NEEDED: Not at this time. |
