I have contacted two contractors who will be there Saturday and Monday and hopefully fix it soon. As this is a specialized did. One of the contractors is the person who built the station during the upgrade. The station can not be shut down as all of Beecher falls feeds to it. Laramie recourses was contacted and they agreed with the plan. This will be a big project as bypass pumping will have to be done during. levels in the wet well were changes so the pump ran fewer times per day decreasing the leakage to about half. A hole was made on 8/18 to contain the water and use a pump truck to empty the hole until repair was made Tuesday 8/19 and station is back in operation. Corrigan LLC did the repair from Gorham NH

A cracked pipe outside the valve vault had a longitudinal crack that was seeping back towards the brook through the rocks and into the culvert that goes to the river. A contractor was able to get scheduled for Monday morning and when a hole was made the water was able to be contained and not reach the brook anymore. A pump truck kept it cleaned out until Tuesday morning when parts were obtained and the repair was made. Pump and pressure test were performed and there is no longer any leakage was observed
