WATER REPORTED BY PHIL LANDRU
FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST, THE DEPARTMENT WOULD LIK TO REPORT THAT WITH SUMMER DRAWING TO A CLOSE, OUR TWO EXISTING WELLS HAVE PROVIDED JUST ENOUGH WATER TO KEEP OUR STORAGE TANKS FULL. WITHOUT THE TREATMENTS AND REHABILITATON PROVIDED BY SUBSURFACE TECHNOLOGIES THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.
THE NEW WELL, WELL F, HAS BEEN SUCCESFSULLY DRILLED AND PUMP TESTED. THE NEXT PHASE WILL BE DOING THE NECESSARY EXCAVATION TO GET PIPE AND ELECTRIC OVER TO THE PLANT IN ORDER TO BEGIN USING THE MUCH-NEEDED WATER THE NEW WELL WILL PROVIDE. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN BUSY GETTING OUR SECOND FILTER READY FOR USE. FILTER UNIT 1 HAS BEEN OFFLINE DUE TO A FAULTY FLOW METER. WE HAD TO DRAIN AND DISASSEMBLE SOME HEAVY PIPE AND FITTINGS IN ORDER TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE FLOW METER. I IS NOW READING PROPERLY AGAIN AND AFTER A GOOOD ACID WASH AND DISINFECTION OF ALL THE FILTER MEDIA. IT IS FINALLY OPERATIONAL AND BACK ONLINE.
THE DEPARTMENT WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE TOWN OF WARWICK FOR THEIR CONTINUED ASSISTANCE AND COOPERATION WITH THE SERVICE LINE REPARIS THAT REQUIRE EXCAVATION.
