Members,
We are out of water. This happened due to several things. First, we lost the pressure pump at Echo Canyon so even though that yard is full of water we cannot pump it. Second, the Trujillo Trail yard cannot keep up with system demand, we get about 3 days with full tanks before they are empty. The North well that feeds Trujillo Trail is our lowest producing pump. Last week we hauled over 32,000 gallons from 42 AS Road to Trujillo Trail and consumed all of it. Third, it’s a holiday weekend (more like a holiday week) and none of our suppliers are open.
The District ordered a new motor and controller last week for Echo Canyon, but it will not arrive until the end of this week. Short term we will haul more water to Trujillo Trail. This morning both of our water haulers are unavailable but we expect to start hauling later this afternoon. Long term we are going to inventory complete backups for all system pumps and controllers. This is expensive but necessary.
Best regards,
Ed
