From what I have heard, the Carbondale water system has a crack somewhere. A few thousand gallons of water a day are leaking out, causing the Carbondale water towers to empty and necessitating running the water plant 24 hours a day to refill them. Unfortunately no household meter is showing any exceptional amount of water use so the city is looking for water draining into a stream or forming a pond somewher. If you happen to notice water where it normally is not, the city would likely appreciate you contacting them.
Just like SIU's crumbling buildings and bug issues reported in the last two issues of the DE. Will these all be repaired and where will the money be coming from?
ReplyDeleteDunno. Maintenance is having to find repair parts for some of the HVAC units on eBay because the manufacturers do not produce them any more.
ReplyDeleteForesight could have solved these problems rather than just waiting for them to happen.
ReplyDeletePublic works has found and fixed at least three leaks in the city water mains and the water plant is no longer running 24 hours a day
