Lake City’s water service experienced a snafu late last month when a malfunction occurred at the Bluff Street well Sunday morning, April 26, placing the town under boil water and essential use only orders.
Thanks to hardworking town staff, in conjunction with Lake City Area Fire Department and Gunnison Public Works water lab, the orders were both fully lifted by the evening of April 30.
Town Manager Lex Mulhall credits Public Works employees Ethan Wuest, Willy Merfeld and Riley Moore who worked nearly around the clock to remedy the situation, as well as Lake City Area Fire Protection District volunteers who assisted in flushing the water system and fire hydrants, working through the night Wednesday, April 29.
Mayor Dave Roberts and town staff tell WORLD they would also like to thank Paradise Property and Bruce Curry, Donny Rightsell, Jason Morrison and R.E. Hall for making a trip to Gunnison Monday morning, April 27, to purchase cases of water that they distributed throughout Lake City that afternoon.
