Water woes
resolved
at library
BY GERALD OCHS
Rappahannock News Special Writer
Thanks to a rapid response by the Library’s Buildings and Grounds Committee Chair Joy Sloane with the support of Bob and Roberta Anderson, repair wiz Jack Estes, and the Rappahannock Farmers Co-op, what could have been a dry week for the Rappahannock Library turned into but one dry day. The library crew was faced Monday, Feb. 21, with a total lack of water caused, they later learned, by the destruction of the 5 horsepower submersible pump’s impeller due to mineral build-up.
Removal of the 700 pound, 260 foot system was attempted using a tractor, but the difficulty and danger in so doing led to a successful plea by Bob Anderson for the use of the coop’s boom truck.
The boom truck did the trick, the problem was identified, and the pump was replaced with nary a worry by those of us caught totally unaware. The cost of the effort was an unbudgeted $2920.
