CMCC’s water pump failed this week after a power outage on Sunday. The good news is the water system is working and filling the tanks.

For those that want more information, the system is currently only operating in a manual mode where two people turn on and off the well and booster pumps at the same time. This failure is not like one we have had before. Both the well pump (not what failed most recently, that was the well pump motor) and the booster pump control failed. It looks like the booster pump VFD (pump controller) went out with the Sunday power outages but failed to send a signal back to the well pump to turn it off so it ran for many hours without moving any water and overheated. Fortunately we had a spare because of the last outage. We hope to have everything work normally sometime this weekend.

Thank you to everyone who did their best to conserve water this week.

Also, a huge THANK YOU goes out to Board Volunteers Scott Jackson and Bob Connolly for spending a lot of time this week working through our community’s water pump issues!
