To Date: Over 13,000 linear feet of boardwalk constructed.
Brice Plumber: Prior to shift of RO system/unit operation, removed debris from feed-water lagoon pump's inlet screen. During initial shift start-up the RO system entered a fault status; likely due to previous shift's pump debris blockage and power interruptions. Discussed Ro system fault status with manufacturer technician. Technician suggested adjustment/programming solutions didn't resolve the fault issue and further system troubleshooting with technician identified the potential issue as a failure of 1 of 2 pressure switches. Additional troubleshooting/discussion required to correctly identify issue and permanent solution.

Mid-afternoon the feed-water lagoon pump's inlet screen partially blocked with debris, pump shut down and debris cleared from pump inlet with RO operation resumed afterwards. RO system/unit operation stopped early evening after additional debris obstructed lagoon pump's inlet reducing GPM flow rate. Ro system/unit shift operation produced 8,000 gallons of potable water. Removed three transfer pumps from the RO system backwash tank, used an existing WTP 4" transfer pump/hose to remove contaminated water from the backwash tank and performed preventative maintenance to RO wash car macerator pumps. Pump is operational but second pump is going to require replacement.
