Manager reports recurring electrical problems at well #3; surge suppression and temporary fixes planned
Summary
County Manager Thomas Weaver reported persistent electrical problems at well #3, said Burgamy Electric has done work, and that staff expects a surge suppression unit from Texas in about 20 days; temporary options (window unit HVAC) and further electrical contracting were discussed.
At the Sept. 22 work session County Manager Thomas Weaver updated the commission on ongoing electrical failures at well #3 in the county water system and said Burgamy Electric has performed much of the repair work. Weaver said staff believe the recurring failures are electrical rather than mechanical and that a surge-suppression system being manufactured in Texas is expected to arrive and be installed in about 20 days.
Weaver said short-term measures include using a window-unit HVAC for the computer components and continued electrical diagnostic work; if problems persist staff will hire an electrical contractor. "Until we get the line vat replaced, we would rather get a window unit for now," Weaver said, describing interim steps to protect control equipment.
Weaver also reported work on a leak on Highway 137 and several recent service-line repairs; the water department has added two new employees to carry the workload.
