Summer Heat Strains Monahans Water and Power Systems
Summer heat triggers multiple breakdowns in Monahans as city wells near the Hogg Ranch and a pump by the golf course falter. City Manager Jack Forga cites heat and worn wear plates after a loose impeller, with storage levels dipping and residents urged to cut back lawn watering. Reports of air conditioner outages rise as electricity use hits a daily peak of 4,029,000 kilowatts on June 24, prompting energy-conservation advice from TESCO manager Lloyd Stoebner. Local incidents include a shattered plate glass window at Nino’s Gulf station and a sonic boom feel noted by residents.
