[HollyMutual-Announce] Well Repair Status II

[Holly Mutual Water Company]

All:

The Whitehall well was repaired last week, but Colorado Water Well 
(CWW) was unable to activate it because power had again failed. This is 
troublesome because CWW had shut the system down and it was not drawing 
any power during this period. CWW is concerned that until Xcel can 
conclusively identify what their problem is, we could see further 
equipment damage by turning the system back on. CWW says normal pump 
motor life expectation is 5-7 years, but the Whitehall and Piedmont 
pumps both failed after around 3. CWW will be meeting with Xcel in the 
next 24 hours to try to get this resolved.

Independently CWW will be working on the Piedmont pump motor, which 
will take another 2-3 days. Because of the power issues, it is unknown 
when the system will be turned back on. I have concerns how best to do 
this, as we will all have been without water for 3+ weeks when the 
system is turned back on. If we all try to use it simultaneously when 
it goes back into operation, the system will collapse and no one will 
get any water. We are looking at the configuration, storage tank 
capacities and production rates to plan a transition back into normal 
operation but will need your cooperation.

Cheers,
Mark
