Show I I Water crisis at Silver Summit ft Silver Summit residents had their water shut off for several hours Tuesday and were ordered 1 . Wednesday to stop all outdoor $! ' watering until further notice due II to dangerously low water levels in H the storage reservoir. I! - Dave Bosch, president of the II subdivision's homeowners' as- H sociation, said the water was shut i off Tuesday morning about 8 a. m. Water system operator Cliff Reed "saw the writing on the wall three to four days ago," but due to a miscoratnunication, that word never reached the subdivision, Bosch said. "We didn't know there was a problem until no water came out of the tap," he said. Reed could not be reached for comment. Residents were urged to halt al) outdoor watering and to curtail mdoor water use until further notice, Bosch said. He said the last time there was a water problem, it took about three days to recharge the storage tank. But he said he was told that one of the two water pumps that fill the tank was not operating and so it may take longer for the tanks to recharge this time. |
