PUBLIC ADVISORY Emergency Plant Shutdown December 14, 2024 (UPDATES) At around 10:00 AM, we resumed start-up but the intake flow was unable to reach the Water Treatment Plant. Several observations had been made at around 10:30 AM, intake pump 2 cavitation was observed as well as intake pump 1. We decided to shut down the intake pump and concluded to replace the intake 1 pump with the newly purchased pump. ESTIMATED TIMELINE OF ACTIVITIES: 1. Emptying intake dug well (2 hours) - 2:00 PM (Estimated Time of Completion) 2. Replacing Intake 1 pump (1 hour) - 3:00 PM (Estimated Time of Completion) 3. Termination of Electrical Wiring for pumps (1 hour) - 4:00 PM (Estimated Time of Completion) 4. Testing and Commissioning of pumps (1 hour) - 5:00 PM Estimated Time of Completion) 5. Build up sedimentation level then start up at Booster pump (3 hours) - 8:00 PM Estimated Time of Completion) Hopefully, by 8:00 PM, we can resume our WTP operations. The provided timeline of activities is conditional. This may change depending on the time of completion of every activity. No worries, we will do our best to compress the estimated time of completion at it’s earliest. We request your patience and understanding on this matter. Thank you very much for your advance support and cooperation.
