Narrative

In a 48 hour timeframe we had a 350hp pump failure at XC87 an 200hp sump failure at XC5 in SM1. These failures allowed water to flow to the SM1 seals. Once the water roofed out in XC6 in SM1, normal ventilation was affected. A 103(k) order was written. As of 4/13/2022 water level has lowered to allow normal ventilation in SM1.
