Details: SUMMARY: Update on Membrane Plant DETAILS: Update from Silas regarding the new membrane plant: The treatment plant at Bear Creek is fully constructed and functional. We have an issue, however, with the chlorine analyzer: it resets when the pump turns on and off. This issue is related to the power. Weve had Pacific Power out there to make sure the power is clean and weve also had an electrician look at things to see what can be done. The only way we have been able to keep the chlorine analyzer from resetting through pump starts/stops has been to power it directly from one of our vehicles through an inverter. Our current plan is to replicate this setup (without the truck, of course) in order to bypass the apparent cause of the issues we are having. From my understanding, this should not be a difficult process to complete and we will soon be able to use the treatment plant and surface water source more regularly. ACTION NEEDED: Follow-up with Silas in 1 month.
