Well plants is still pumping above average, which means they’re currently water leaks in the area, assuming these are unseen property connections that may be broke underwater at piers located by the creek and or canals. One was reported by a property owner on Seagull Road this past weekend that made necessary repairs immediately.
These breaks have a potential of back siphoning that causes contamination of the water system.
To assure the safest way of disinfection, we have been and currently flushing water mains heavily at dead end water mains assuring that we are testing for a free chlorinated residuals.
Depending on our pumpage readings this morning, we are ready to pull grab samples at all of our monitoring stations and deliver to the TCEQ approved public water lab for analysis. If the bacterilogical analysis passes negative, we can officially lift the Boil Water Notice.
Crews will be reading meters this week along with currently flushing water mains.
If we see water meters registering an instant flow (rapidly spinning), we will turn off the meter valve at meter box and attempt to notify the property owners.
SEWER COLLECTION UPDATE:
Currently we believe Collections are working normal. If you have back-up sewer, please call Caney Creek MUD, 979-245-0245, to allow our licensed operators to activate the collection pods, to determine either a malfunction or possible clog on your property.
Wastewater Plant is working well.
The groundwater (storm water) intrusions have damaged the treatment of water quality, which causes an abundance of dead organics.
This causes a harder tougher break down of sewer strength to treat.
The discharge breakdown of pathogens is working well for tested total chlorination at permited compliance levels.
