[HollyMutual-Announce] Well activation status

[Mark Derbyshire]

All:

In previous years we completely shut down the wells and water
distribution over the winter to save a little electricity and wear &
tear on the equipment. However when the wells were reactivated in the
spring, we typically discovered new leaks in the distribution pipes. At
the recommendation of Colorado Water Well (CWW) for the past winter, we
tried leaving the system in a partially operational mode as an
experiment. That turned out to be inconclusive because we experienced a
bad leak late January, and fixing it/testing the repair was complicated
by low priorities, weather, and finally COVID-19.

CWW called on Thursday to say they were going to activate the wells on
Friday (April 10). They were supposed to call once the system was on,
but I didn't hear back yesterday. I will be calling CWW on Monday to
find out if the wells are really on, but anyone who wants to check to
see if we have water pressure is welcome to try. I will send another
email once I know the wells are operational.

Cheers,

Mark
