Good Morning All,
We did not have any problems last night with the lift station. It functioned normally even though it was pumping
through the old force main. I do not remember whose idea it was to tie the old force main into the new station
but it sure was a life saver yesterday. Sandy Lake lift station did not have any problems handling the additional
load from Deforest either.
The contractor was back on-site this morning at daylight ready to go to work. They were assembling their
trench box when I left there a few minutes ago. They should start their excavation work within the hour.
A representative from the pipe fusion company will be on-site this afternoon at 1 p.m. to discuss the various
repair options. We will probably need to see the damage to the pipe in order to decide on the best option.
I would also like to echo Ted's thank you from last night. We really appreciate everyone's help with the
emergency, especially everyone who helped turn the 30" valve. That could have been a very bad situation had
there only been a couple of people there to do that job.
Thanks again,
Glenn
