2nd Sample passed
We are now up and operational on our new pipes with our dual pressure tanks. We are having a little trouble getting the pressure tanks up to the correct pressure but that should be cleared up by morning.
Thank you everyone you did a great job conserving water during this construction project.
If you have problems with sand or dirty water please run the hose in the back yard for 5 minutes or so should clear all the water through the house.
I found these tips out on a website:
The Boil Water Notice will be lifted once the water is safe to drink.
After a Boil water Notice has been lifted
- Flush water farthest from the inlet to the house first. (Most cases the backyard)
- Flush all water-using fixtures for 1 minute.
- Run cold-water faucets and drinking fountains for 1 minute before using the water.
- Drain and flush all ice-making machines in your refrigerator.
- Run water softeners through a regeneration cycle.
- Drain and refill hot water tanks set below 45 C (normal setting is 60 C).
- Change any pre-treatment filters (under sink style and refrigerator water filters, carbon block, activated carbon, sediment filters, etc.).
