Glacier and Iron Gate Shortages. 11/9/26
During routine maintenance of a service valve to a cabin the main line from the ski-lift tanks was turned off and has mechanically failed so that it can not be opened.
Work tomorrow morning involving digging 3-4 feet down to expose the valve in the lower Ski Lift road will occur in the morning to replace the valve.
SAF, USA and Manker have no water now and will likely continue in that state until this valve is replaced – maybe by noon.
EVERYONE ELSE MUST VERY CAREFULLY USE THE WATER STILL IN THE SYSTEM. JUST NORMAL USE WILL RESULT IN GLACIER AND IRONGATE RUNNING DRY.
We tried three hours tonight to fix this issue without success. Daylight and new parts and a backhoe operator would be very useful tomorrow morning. Call Roger at 909 282-4686 to help tonight – once he’s in the field tomorrow his phone will not work.
Use that water you store for such occasions!
No Lead Pipes Found in SHIA System
Recently the US Environmental Protection Agency required states to certify the extent that their water systems contained lead pipes. The State Water Board told SHIA that this must occur. In response, Mark McReynolds, water manager and SHIA president, attended a web-based information session and learned that a study of the SHIA system was required. Using Water Board requirements, Mark created a proposal that was sent to the Water Board and approved. Roger Watford sampled many areas in our system and found no lead pipes as was our initial presumption. Mark took that data and uploaded it to the Water Board site. Should you have any questions contact Mark and he will be happy to share all the details of the proposal and results.
