Mooresville water customers used almost 1 million gallons of water less yesterday than last Saturday, in response to the town's plea to conserve water after two of our three raw-water intake pumps malfunctioned.
Water demand was 3.694 million gallons yesterday, down from 4.522 million gallons last Saturday.
Town staff says the water treatment plant is in "good shape." Elevated storage tank levels are above the town's normal target levels -- 90 to 95 percent full -- and are higher now than this time last weekend.
The town currently has about 12 million gallons of treated water in storage and 4 million gallons of raw water in reserves that can be treated if necessary.
The only pump that is currently working -- which can draw 3.6 million gallons of raw water a day from Lake Norman into the town's water treatment plant -- continues to operate efficiently.
Town staff has said it anticipates having the pumps repaired and installed by late tomorrow (not later today, as I originally posted).

You know everything would work out OK. It had to with the Mayor and Erskine out of town. We would be better off if they both would stay gone.
Wonder how much Erskine spent at the high price Grove Park Inn on his "working" vacation. You need to check on this Jamie.
Also the Mayor Pro Tem sent out a recorded message that's more than the Mayor would have done.
Well mayor pro-tem is just as big a crook as the mayor, he was just trying to suck-up! And make himself look good in light of the recent events, (M-I Conn, lobbyist crap & DARE officer firing.) He needs to stand up and be a man of integrity.
I bet you Jimmy McKnights next commission check that if Freight Liner was annoncing a new corporate office in Mooresville our illustrious Mayor would have found a way to put his name / face / voice on the story. But bad news. . . . uh, no thanks, let someone else do it. Don't want my hands to get dirty.
What a wimp.
Has anyone given any thoughts to what would happen if our homes or business caught on fire? Could a tanker possibly provide the needed water power? Its a scary thought.
