Water Woes

Members:

I have just been notified that we are experiencing a major problem with our water distribution system.

From what we can tell, we have a frozen line somewhere between the tanks and the main valve (above Forster's cabin near where Upper Loop turns to the west.) There is little to no snow over much of the ground covering the water line and we suspect the line is frozen.

This problem is resulting in no water availability to ALL cabins. It is possible that it’s a chunk of ice temporarily blocking the line, but is more likely that the line is frozen. Because we don’t know exactly where the problem in this long stretch of line, there doesn't seem to be much we can do at this point. Hopefully we will get some snow cover soon and the ground will warm up the line.

Until the problem is resolved, you will need to rely on your storage tanks (if you have one) or haul water up with you.

Sorry for the bad news.
