Chief engineer James Imboden notes weather and opacity affect water availability and that current pumps meet only part of pumping capacity.

Water pressure concerns in Welch as repairs lag
The town relies on Well No 1 and 2 and Southern Refrigeration Co. for water with a 200-250 GPM output, while Well No 3 under repair shows only 60 GPM. Shipping issues and a broken drill rope delayed casing work, causing low pressures from 5 am to noon and variable flow after noon.
