Upon investigation we found that the <br /> dry pit had been cumpletely filied with water to a depth of <br /> aboi�t t�vo and a half feet above the floor level of the operat- <br /> ing room. 'Phe motors h<id water around them, not co•vered, but <br /> up on a por�ion of the rnotor. The water was in tY.e control <br /> �'', . ^ <br /> panel and in the electrical system. <br /> we k�a�+e- started piimping and pumped the water out of the <br /> dry pit and discovered that the cause of the trouble was <br /> a break in a 14"x}.4"x10" Y, which leads to one of the t:hree <br /> pumps. This was t:he Y neanest the side of the dry well so <br /> that the other two pumps could not be operated until this <br /> � is repaired. The water was pumpad in by the pumps through <br /> the break into the dry well until the pumps were subme::geci <br /> i or the controls cut out, stopping the pumping. <br /> � As of 8:00 a.m. this morning the pit was completely empcy <br /> '� of water and we called all of the pipe suppliers in Seattle <br /> and found tha� no one carries this oarticular size Y in stock <br /> and that it woald hava to be fabricated. They did nct <br /> ' think it could be obtained anywhere in �m- the mi3west, <br /> except on special order. We called the Olympic Foundry, Co. <br /> and they stated that if they could they would be willing <br /> to put th�s on priority and we would be able to have one <br /> in two to three weeks , hTe decided we would put in a temp- <br /> orary straight sleeve instead of the Y, this will cut out <br /> one of the three pumps, but the other two pumps will be <br /> operable. �4e have ordered this sleeve from the Western <br /> Utilities Company in Seattle, they are making it up and <br /> � we are going to Seattle at 4:30 p.m. today and pick it <br /> up. In the meantime, Wes Snith is taking out the broken <br /> part, Industrial Electric are there now checking through <br /> all of the electrical equipment so that �efore we turn on <br /> the power we know that the electrical work is satisfactory <br /> and it will not burn up upon � energiz��� <br /> -1- <br />
