Subject: Using backup system

Because we have now entered a cold snap such that the discharge water is starting to freeze on the back parking lot, I have switched over to our gas, hot water backup system for the original building, except for the Fireside Lobby and Chapel, which continue to be served by our new system since they are not covered by our backup system.  Hopefully, the remaining use of water by our new system will be low enough that our discharge well can handle it without overtopping but we will see.  If necessary, I can turn down the set points for those two rooms sufficiently so that the overtopping stops.  My thought is to keep using the backup system until the bypass pipe has been installed and is in operation.

My thanks to the board for approving at the Nov 21 board meeting the Dailey plan to bypass the discharge well.  I sent Dailey the go-ahead email that evening and they sent me a confirmation email the next morning that they are working on the scheduling.  However, a date has not been set as of now.
