Second, the amount of water in the storage tanks changes too rapidly during demand surges. To ensure a steady supply, the client is hoping to increase their storage capacity and replace the well that stopped producing last summer.
Lastly, the company has noted that to service parts of the system, sections need to be shut down, suspending water access to certain areas. The company is looking to install redundant pipes to allow a bypass, ensuring there is no interruption in service for clients.

Community Engineering Corps provides a framework for our volunteers to work on a solution to the community’s identified needs. This framework protects you and the professionals working with you. CECorps volunteers are covered by professional liability insurance – important in the litigious USA – but only if you operate within the parameters of the program.
