Major Leak #2 repaired

New water service

Water service and broken fitting
Hello all,

Today we dug up and repaired a substantial leak along Bear Creek Rd. today.  We had previously found the leak and thought that it was located on a service line to a meter.  However when we dug it up today, it was found that a fitting on the mainline had cracked and required the system to be shut down to repair it.  We estimate that this leak was approx. 15-25 gallons per minute.  The source for the whole water system is 36 gallons per minute.  We really wanted to get the leak repaired before the storm moved in later this week.

You may have also noticed that we are again reading water meters this week.  You can expect to receive a water bill by the middle of next week. Thank you so much for your patience as we work on these issues.
