Please conserve water.

The reservoir is now empty. This has impacted all users located above the reservoir.

AA pump service plans to initiate work on the lower well tomorrow morning.
They will need to pull the pump out of the lower well which will take some time.
Expect to be out of water until at least tomorrow afternoon.

Edit: 4:00pm
Reservoir is up a couple of inches.
Everyone should have water.

Unfortunately The upper well is unable to keep up with demand.

The reservoir is down to it's last couple inches of water.

This will impact users on the upper pressure system first
(all users located above the reservoir).

If you can conserve water. Please do so.

We are hoping that AA pump service can get our lower well fixed sometime today.

Edit: Monday 12:38PM
I just received bad news from our pump installer.
There was an issue with the products shipped.
AA pump will not be able to initiate work on the lower well until tomorrow morning (Tuesday) 7:00am

Update - Lower well out

Submitted by JohnAmery on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 12:22pm

As of Sunday 6/20 about noon we have not lost water.

However, we are not "quite" keeping up with demand.
Our reservoir has been slowly lowering since 10:00pm last night.
The upper pump can not keep up with demand.

We need to conserve water a bit better.
It should be noted that we were doing great until 10:00pm last evening.

At current water usage rates we will run out of water.
Please go back to conserving water.

Lower pump out - Please limit water usage

Submitted by JohnAmery on Fri, 06/18/2021 - 11:32am

The lower pump just went out.

Tooley Water District WILL run out of water based upon our current water usage.

Please limit water usage until we can get this issue resolved.

If you run out of water you should shut off the circuit breaker to your hot water heater until you have water again.

We do not currently have a schedule for when we can get the lower pump repaired.

Please communicate this message to your neighbors.

Edit: 1:00pm
Looks like we will not be able to get a new motor until Monday.

Please conserve water all weekend.

Edit: 6:00pm
Everybody is doing a good job of conserving water.
The upper well has been able to keep up with demand.
Keep up the good work and keep conserving.
If you have to water plants or lawns, keep it to a minimum.

Edit: Saturday 6/19/21 10:20am
I am lowering the risk level (a bit).
The upper well has been keeping up with demand.
Let's still be mindful of conserving water, but keep your plants alive.

Running out of water

Submitted by JohnAmery on Sun, 06/13/2021 - 8:59am

Please turn off all irrigation systems and conserve water.

The lower well is having electrical issues.
The upper well can not keep up with demand.

We will likely run out of water today (Sunday) unless we can get a contractor out to resolve these issues.

In the event you run out of water you should turn off the circuit breaker to your hot water heater.
