County seeks fixes after repeated Fire Tower Road tank failures, considers surge suppression
Summary
County Manager Thomas Weaver reported repeated failures at the Fire Tower Road tank, said Hammock Wells responded quickly, and staff suspect an electrical issue; surge suppression and HVAC for electronics are under consideration while temporary cooling may be used at water well #3.
County Manager Thomas Weaver told the commission the Fire Tower Road tank failed again and that the county’s usual vendor was unavailable, so the county contracted Hammock Wells, which responded within about an hour. Weaver said staff currently suspect an electrical problem rather than lightning on each occurrence and that they will investigate grounding and may hire an electrical contractor if needed.
At the Sept. 22 work session Weaver also updated the commission on continuing problems at well #3, reporting Burgamy Electric has performed some repairs and that a surge suppression system is being manufactured in Texas and expected in about 20 days. Weaver told commissioners the county may use a temporary window air-conditioning unit for electronic equipment until a permanent solution is installed.
