H2O Consulting deserves a big Thank You from all of MUD 208 residents for their preparations and hard work before and during the recent freeze event to keep the water system up and running the entire time.
Winterization preparations, which includes wrapping valves, insulating controls, and installing space heaters, were completed by the end of October. Before the storm hit, they reviewed critical items, such as making certain they had adequate fuel and inspecting all power supply lines to insure they are free and clear of any tree limbs that might come crashing down. H2O Consulting employees had to check all the utility trucks to make sure they were road-ready, including full gas tanks and equipped with necessary tools like heat torches and bolt cutters. They also made certain the generators and natural gas engines were working properly. Spare parts for piping repairs were purchased and nonessential plumbing at facilities were isolated and drained. The day before the freeze hit, they made final adjustments to critical valves and controls. If you were signed up to receive alerts, you would have received one at this time to remind you to prepare your own home for this event. Along with having several meetings to discuss coverage at multiple facilities and communication plans, these guys worked endlessly to ensure that residents of MUD 208 had water safe to drink throughout the event. All the while, H2O employees had to deal with the same type of situations that we were experiencing in our own homes.
