Town of Coushatta Report on December 26th:
Late Monday afternoon the Town of Coushatta updater the water situation.
The water system will Turn a second pump on at 6:00pm for a few hours. This will hopefully give pressure for everyone to get water during this time. Unfortunately, this pump can only be ran for a few hours.
They continue to find and repair leaks and urge residents to check their homes and outlying buildings for leaks.
Engineers and workers will be back out first thing in the morning to continue the effort.
Here is the update from the town issued earlier Monday:
Crews continue to monitor and look for leaks. The Engineer will be onsite today to help troubleshoot the system and locate problem areas. Please continue to conserve water and check for leaks as areas of the system will begin to unthaw.
Christmas Day status of the town Water System:
Workers are out Assessing and looking for leaks. Two large leaks have been found and repaired already. More water is still being lost versus what the pumps can supply to the tanks. As water begins getting restored Please check your meter and if it is spinning wildly you have a leak that needs to be repaired. This will also prevent you from having a large water bill.
No ETA can be given until these leaks are found and fixed. So please encourage everyone to check your meter and lines. If you see a leak on the upstream side of your meter please report it to the Town of Coushatta.
