Booster pump boosts city water flow to max capacity
New booster pump at the water treatment plant is installed and operating above expectations. Plant supervisor Bob Clark reports a flow increase to over 325 gal per minute, about 50 percent higher than last week, with an estimated 310 to 330 gal per minute out to the reservoir. Officials expect the plant to run near normal this summer and to recoup the $3000 pump cost through higher water sales from ordinary revenues.
