500 Golden Valley homes have water again after well fixed

摘要

A broken well has finally been repaired and water has been restored to 1,200 customers in about 500 Golden Valley homes, Mohave County, Ariz., officials said yesterday. Those affected residents in the unincorporated community had been without water since May 7 when a 1,500- foot well broke. A county contractor disassembled the well two days later and an emergency interconnection with a neighboring water system was put in place, but that didn't solve the problem. The county shut down the booster station when the tank level dropped below 10 feet and that created a pressure loss. County officials said a replacement motor arrived at the well last Friday as crews continue to work to fix the issue.
