UPDATE: Monday, March 27  11am

Our shipment has still not arrived, so Weston Well cleaning has once again been postponed. Cleaning is still expected to start mid-week to late-week. We will update as we learn more.  Thank you for your patience!

Weston Well Cleaning Update

Weston Well is scheduled to be down for maintenance as early as Wednesday, March 22nd (pending one last shipment arrival).  We expect Weston to be down for 7-14 days. This means all water will be supplied from our Lost Meadows site.  This may temporarily produce discolored water due to water shifting directions in the pipes.  This does not affect the safety of the water but can be disconcerting.  Please follow tips listed below for "Brown Water" if you encounter discolored water coming from your taps. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and are happy to respond to any concerns you may have.

Be sure to check our website for any updates.

Thank you.

BROWN WATER?


Here are some tips to resolve the issue:
1. Go to your outdoor hose bib and run the water for a few minutes till it runs clear
2. Back inside, go to the faucet that you believe is the furthest from where the water comes into your house via your plumbing.  Run that faucet till the water comes clear.
3. Make your way through your house turning on each faucet until each separate one runs clear.

A special note, if you have used a lot of hot water, your hot water tank may need to be flushed as well.  This can be done by running the hot water from any faucet.

You should notice your water turning clear rather quickly.  If the issue persists, please call our office to let us know and we can have a professional come out to assist.

 

The Capital Projects Committee is assessing the replacement of infrastructure in the Manaco/Cove/Finch area which would include relocation of the main to the county right-of-way.  The water lines supporting these communities have been in place for many years with frequent leaks and damage to property.  Moving forward we will:  complete surveying and mark utility locations; determine a phasing plan that meets availability of funding; and initiate construction in phases.

Beware....  Your Cooperative does not have an online account log in or bill payment provision.  We've been made aware of online vendors offering these services and it is misleading.  This is not connected with your account or any services provided by the Cooperative. This includes doxo services; please do not use doxo to pay your CCWP bill. Please feel free to contact us any time with any concerns and questions.

This piece of historic water delivery was uncovered abandoned in 2019 while replacing the main at Indian Beach and Hanson.  This wooden wrapped pipe would likely have been implemented in the early 1930s.  We recently found that this type of pipe is still in use in other areas on the island.
