May 17th, 2025

Saturday, May 17th, the main repairs in the old plant were completed. At the end of the day on Saturday, the old plant was back to receiving flow. There are a few more repairs needed but they can be done with the old plant in operation. It will take some time to get the old plant to be fully functioning properly but we have begun.

A big thank you to DPW Foreman Jake Smith and his team. They put in a lot of hard hours working in a difficult environment.
