Our System Experienced Two Failures Recently.
On 11 July our reservoir was so low the system could not supply water to our homes and fire hydrants. A call was put in to our operator and they were able to get the pump running and the reservoir filled enough that water was available. However this problem persisted the next day, a fix was found for the well pump control loop. Our Cost for the two service calls, parts and time was $496.25.
During a regular system inspection on Sunday 20 July our operator found Pump #2 not running. Pump #1 was able to carry the load except when it timed out, when we had some short water outages. The pump #2 overload relay was found worn out and was replaced. Our cost for the service call, parts and time for this repair was $480.00.
