A few months ago we had trouble finding the source of a leak that was quickly draining one of our tanks. After turning off dozens of valves we finally pinpointed the leak in Green’s Creek. The water in the creek hid the leak. The next day we put valves on both sides of the creek to isolate the leak. Over the last week, we had a company bore under the creek, and moments ago the Clearwater crew, after reconnecting, opened the valves to resume water flow as the system is designed. It’s believed this is possibly the source of the inconsistent water pressure in areas south of the Gandy. With this you may see some air in the system as we bleed the lines near the repair. Any issues let me know and thanks for everyone’s patience!
