Subject: Re: TTDWID – high flows
Members,
You may have noticed we are once again out of water. You currently have pressure but once the tank levels drop the pumps will shut down like they did yesterday afternoon and this morning. We are planning on trucking in water from 42 AS Road tomorrow but it will only be ~6,000 gallons which is a one-day supply. We do not have the water trailer yet and Tucson Bulk Water cannot come back this week so if you don’t all conserve we will be out of water by Tuesday.
Best regards,
Ed

Subject: TTDWID – high flows
Members,
At 7:57am someone started to use 4x normal water consumption at 18gpm this continued for over 3 hours until 11:02am. This usage was either a pool fill or irrigation. How do I know this? Because any normal household usage flows 1-5gpm in short intervals say 1-5minutes. This usage was full flow for 3 hours with no throttling. Please check your systems and adjust as needed to reduce your consumption.
During the 3 hours of high usage, we pushed 3,240 gallons to the system, but our well pumps only added 540 gallons. If we do not work as a community to address these high flows, we will be out of water again later today or tomorrow.
Best regards,
Ed
Yesterday, 6/3, Tucson Bulk Water delivered 2200 gallons and then shuttled an additional 6,000 gallons between 42 AS Road and the storage tanks located on Trujillo Trail. Our pressure pumps are back online so all District members have water. Please shut off your irrigation, pool auto fills and limit laundry until we are out of this emergency shortage.
Demand is too high for our District wells so the pressure systems are now offline. To address the low tank levels and return the pressure pumps to service we will be trucking water from 42 Aliso Springs to the storage yards later today.
