Just to let readers of our blog know, that the weekend's work on the pump system and increase in flow efficiency has resulted today in the pit fluid level going down to the position of the pump, which is 4.5 metres down from floor level, a really big difference to what we saw before getting the key - back then the sewer pit was almost full, only half a metre down from floor level.
Our aim is to get the fluid levels in the galleries / manholes (near Robbie & Frank) down to sensible levels - as previously this was not happening or being checked by the previous management - which risked the system being backed up with solids at the extreme end of the pipework.
Now, as the levels have dropped so much, the clay pipe entry into the sewer is above the water level, which should mean the rest of the system is no longer full with water.
Now we've achieved this, the pump has been set only on the timer - I re-adjusted the time-switch to run for 1 hour each night today, and will closely monitor it over the next week.
