July 11 Slow Sand Cleaning # 3WELL it's been 2 months now into the summer. The well is still dirty. The sand filter is full of mud again and needs to be cleaned again 2 months later. So does the nanofilter. So much sand has been removed that the sand in the slow sand filter has to be replaced already, it should have taken years to replace it all. So now it will hae to be emptied again and the sand cleaned out and new sand put back to replace it. July 06 Remember the WATER???Remember the Water Problem? Well it's back!!! like Chucky he just can't get enough. the attorney hand delivered 80 CD's, 120 pages of narrative text in chronological order, a list of witness, and a bunch of other pertinent information to all of the other attoerneys involved. It cost a fortune in quintuplets alone! Everything had to be copied for each attorney etc... Boring, it took FOREVER and many long nights, dropping and dragging files to discs. I can't imagine what it was like doing this kind of work before the age of computers, printers and software!!! Well the brunt of it is done now. Meanwhile the filter is overworked by the sheer volume of mud involved, and needs to be cleaned AGAIN, and new sand added as it is already almost out of the initial 2 yards of sand that was initially added! I've know pigs who have cleaner water than this!! November 21 Are you being Served?The attorney tells me that the parties listed as defendants in the suit for clean water (or lack thereof) have been served! It gives new meaning to the name of the TV series! "Are You Being Served?" July 19 Clean water looks like it's not going to happen any time soon!Well the CAP decided to pull a fast one and wants me to now sign some kind of paperwork releasing them of something, I won't actually know until I see it. Either way it means that Professor Cluff will not be coming out today, or this week to install the slowsand filtration system. it will be at least another week like this, cleaning the misters out, cleaning the filters out, cleaning the coolers out, and dying in the heat! it was something like 115 F on the porch the other day, in the shade! I am acutely aware of how much WATER means for survival in the desert! June 18 Still Don't Have Clean WaterWell the great filtration solution that was going to solve the problem bombed horribly and the water is still not clean. It smells terrible and it's in everything. The water is also exteremely salty to the taste. My whites are no longer white and it gives new meaning to the words "Grey Water". June 05 Central Arizona Project's Dirty Little Water SecretsAfter 11 months with no water only that which the CAP supplied us with during that time period, the CAP is now planning on foisting the problem off on yet some other poor company to filter their dirty canal water. Watch out for recharge projects is the moral of that story. |
