Updates from Gasparilla Water from Thursday

An update from Gasparilla Water, and Ron Bolton, executive director. As work continues on the water main to the island on Cole Island in the Causeway, the staff continues to work to bring service back to the whole island, house by house.

A reminder that there is a boil water notice for the island:

• We were able to restore water & sewer service to all of Boca Grande Isles this morning.
• 17 out of 20 sewer lift stations are operational.  14 are running in normal operations.
• The transmission line on Cole Island is 90% complete. We will pressure test and sample tomorrow.
• The plan is to bring water north to 29^th Street by end of day Friday.
• Several leaks need to be resolved between 9^th Street and 39^th Street.
• Currently about 50 percent of our customers/members are back in service for water and sewer.
• The fault error for the substation generator has been resolved so we have generator back up if necessary.
• The office now has temporary water service.
