Details: SUMMARY: Moratorium on new infill or new pipe until engineer can guarantee 20 psi pressure DETAILS: From John McGee, Big Valley Woods engineer, to WS:

"I got a call from Pete Farrelly a few minutes ago. He said … if BVW intends to expand I will need to certify that the system can handle the additional capacity requirement. I told him that I doubt that there would be an expansion proposal because the owner is not interested in constructing the new water line that would be required for fire flow. I explained that if we constructed a pipe capable of delivering fire flows, domestic flows would not be an issue. He was satisfied with that explanation."

Contrary to complaints, John says that the well has significant capacity, and he believes that the only reason for low pressure is the distribution pipe size. ACTION NEEDED: Assure that BVW adds no more infill until the engineer certifies that 20 psi will be maintained under all circumstances.

They are roughly at 155 connections. Patty and Vic Farkas keep vacancy rates, but they have no more than their approved 161 connections.
