Conservation Required – July 17, 2023
Del Oro thanks you for your conservation efforts so far. With the increasing heat and stress on remaining equipment, one of our booster pumps at the Winchester Tank overheated and burned up this weekend. The other booster pump at that location had an electrical issue which has been repaired. Due to this, some customers in the southern part of the district experienced low pressure over the weekend. Customers on Winchester, Roberts, Wrangler, and Coyote reported low pressure.
