The chlorine apparatus at the main pumphouse is undergoing routine maintenance today and it turns out that some aspects of this maintenance cannot be undertaken without shutting down the pumps. (We apologize for the short notice, but we were unaware of this requirement until now). Consequently, water supply disruptions may occur off and on during the day. This may result in low water pressure when the pumps are turned off, and until the pumps can catch up with refilling the reservoir when they are turned back on again. In the worst case scenario, if water demand is very high during periods when the pumps are off, this may result in a lack of water supply, although hopefully only for short periods. The maintenance is expected to be fully completed today.
