Planned Outage for part of Monday and part of Tuesday 6/26-6/27/2023.. updated 6/27/2023

The irrigation holding tank is quite full of mud (this has been a terribly muddy year, but it seems to be clearing up), and so we have called for a Jetter/Vac truck to come out and help us with that. The pumps will be off part of next Monday and Tuesday to give us time to block off water and drain the pond before the truck arrives. Once the irrigation holding tank has been cleaned and the pond is refilled with water, we will get the pumps back on.

We'll share some pictures of the process so you can see for yourself why we feel it is important to do these mid-year cleanings on these especially high silt load years.

Update 06/27/2023:

A lot of work goes into the irrigation system, even in the best conditions. This year the mud has been ridiculous. The tank was cleaned in April, and three months later it was full of mud again.

It took the jetter/vac truck over 4.5 hours to get the pond cleaned out, and they will more than likely have to come at least one more time this year.

After the pond was cleaned out, it took another hour for the pond to refill with water, and the water quality is still not great. 

Thank you for your patience. The pumps are set to come on at the normal time. Please stick to the schedule as we are still waiting to have the 10HP pump looked at.
