During Aprils severe weather events the SPOA irrigation well, located in the Woodland Drive cul-de-sac, received a direct lightning strike. The issue was discovered on 28 April when Bay Power Washing attempted to power-wash the entrance and had no water. The well was inspected by Farve Well service and arrangements were made to have the pump replaced on 29 April. When trying to remove the pump it was discovered the pump was fused to the casing. The wire connections had been melted and the pipe heated and misshapen. The pipe and wire were removed but the pump remained lodged in the casing effectively plugging the well.
The board contracted with Farve Well Service to drill a new well and replace the supporting equipment. That activity will commence ASAP and be completed in the next couple of weeks.
