Lakes 1 and 4 Renovation Update – March 15th

Lake 4

The water level in Lake 4 reached a planned water level and the level maintained using the water well. The process was stopped after a month to replace the leaking water line from the water well to the lake. After a two week delay the lake level was restored and the monitoring program started again. The district is in the second month of monitoring the water consumption required to maintain the water level. This consumption is being compared to the preconstruction volumes to determine the effectiveness of the new clay liner.

Lake 1

The water level in Lake 1 is near the planned level for the lake. The wells were turned off on March 13th to begin the monitoring the water consumption required to maintain this water level. The district has just started the monitoring program on this lake.

The district’s engineering firm along with their geotechnical company recommended at least three months of monitoring to determine the effectiveness of the clay liner. Lake 4 is in its second month of monitoring and Lake 1 just started. Comparisons of the daily drop in lake levels are less than the first fillings of the lakes but the water consumption data for Lake 4 is higher than preconstruction values. The data for Lake 1 is limited at this time since the monitoring program just started.

Lakes 1 and 4 Renovation Update – February 6th

Lake 4 is currently being filled and is near the planned water level for the lake.  Once the planned level is reached the level will be monitored along with the water usage required to maintain the level.

The well on Lake 1 has been turned on to start filling that lake also.  The increased volume of the lake will require approximately 2 months to fill the lake when both wells are pumping.  Filling the lake will allow sufficient time to monitor the lake level and water usage required to maintain the level.  The engineering and geotechnical firms say that it may take 3-6 months to fully seal.  Filling both lakes will give the district enough time to evaluate a plan forward with the engineers and contractors if the lakes continue to leak.
