Assistance Type: OTHER REGULATORY - System inactivating a spring source
Reasons: Operations
 
Details: Ron called to discuss the low flow noticed at Spring #1 (SRC-AA). It has been noted that a significant reduction in water flow has been seen. He has valved off Spring #1. DWS to inactivate Spring #1. Discussion was had on possibly developing another spring source but that will fall to permission from the Forest Service and also go through our plan review process. More research is being done.

Update: Water system survey performed on October 16th found that Spring #2 (Lower) identified as SRC-AB was the source inactivated due to reduced flow. Spring #1 (Middle) and Spring #3 (Upper) identified as SRC-AA and SRC-AC respectively are in use. - M. Byrd
