Show Battlecreek water tank to be drained Nov. 17 Frank Mills, Pleasant Grove Public Works Director, warned those residents who are on the Battlecreek water system that the city will be draining the Battlecreek watertank on Monday, Nov. 17. Mills explained that those on the system may notice a decrease in their water pressure until about midday on Wednesday, Nov. 19. , . The area on the Battlecreek system which will be involved is above 400 East to 1400 North and to 900 South. The city will shut off water to the tank on Monday morning. The tank will drain during the day Monday. When it is drained, the city crews will inspect it to see what it looks like inside and determine what needs to be done to the tank. It will then be disinfected and water will be turned back into the tank. Mills said it probably would take until at least noon on Wednesday for the tank to refill. He added that residents might notice the decrease in pressure as the tank drains but, on the other hand, they might not because of the time of year. He noted that the same amount of water will be going into the system. It will go through the chlorinator and into a small tank. The large one million gallon tank will be the only one drained. The Monson system will not be involved. Mills asked residents who have questions to call him at the City Hall at 785-5045. The city hopes to paint the inside the Battlecreek watertank about this same time next year. |
