Maintaining the Pumps – 02.04.10

Scale shot of pumps and tower.

I thought I’d start this post with a really neat shot of our Subaru parked in front of our pumps. All the water has been drained down to roughly two inches inside the pump vaults. We inspected the pumps and found them to be in excellent condition. The impellers are not out of whack, and besides tightening a few bolts, not much needed to happen in the pump vaults.

Jim and Donovan getting ready to tighten up some bolts in Pump 3's vault.

Pump 6's impeller. It looks just as it should. For reference, the impeller's diameter is roughly 4.5 feet.

Donovan up on a ledge checking the bolts.

Rubber Ducky's anyone? We found hundreds of rubber ducks caught in the conveyor belt.

We are mostly on schedule with the cleaning and inspections. We began filling the ponds again with well water and we expect to turn the city water on soon. Any questions? Feel free to ask!
