We just got the pump repaired and it is running. It’s still going to a while before we can get everyone back in water and good pressure. It all depends on usage on how fast the lines and tanks start filling. If you can put off using water today it will be a big help. If you’ve been out of water you will be on a boil water advisory. I’ll have a post with the areas shortly.

We currently have a pump down at our booster pump station. This will effect customers from alley branch to bear creek road, including golden gate, Lakewood village and Diamond links, trace hill and any high areas.
We are in contact with service pump but we may not be able to get a pump tech here until morning.
It can also affect the higher areas in the rush area. We are back feeding as many people as we can but due to high usage it can drop the pressure on hills.
