SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The lighting storm of late July 2012 has caused damage to both the electrical control panel
and the well pump motor. No surge protection was provided during initial construction in
1993 as lighting has not been a major issue in the Yakima Valley and was not
recommended by the electrical engineer. Most facilities, even today, do not require surge
protection except for computer type equipment. However, included in this appropriation is
surge protection. We will be working on a project to consider surge protection on other
facilities. This well is used as a backup supply when the water plant cannot meet the water
demand.
The panel, specifically the motor starter, was damaged beyond repair and the motor
appears to be shorted out and will need to be repaired or replaced. The extent of the motor
damage cannot be fully evaluated until the pump and motor have been removed from the
well.
The appropriation of $205,000 is to pay costs associated with the replacement of the motor
starter and installation of a surge protector of about $25,000, the cost for a contractor to
remove and replace the well pump and motor of about $50,000, the cost of repairing or
replacing the motor of about $100,000, a contingency of $30,000 to cover any additional
repairs that are discovered when the pump and motor have been removed and evaluated.
As this event was specifically excluded from insurance coverage, this repair is being funded
using water capital reserves.
