WATER SYSTEM EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Emergency Response Plan (ERP) has been developed to lessen the impact of emergencies which could affect the Sunshine Coast Regional District s (SCRD) water supply systems. This ERP has been prepared by Dayton & Knight Ltd. (D&K) for the SCRD s water systems to comply with the requirements of the British Columbia Drinking Water Protection Act and the local Health Authority. This plan also conforms to the B.C. Emergency Response Management System framework. 1.1 Purpose The overall purpose of this plan is to outline the basic procedures to be taken in the case of an emergency involving the source, transmission, treatment, storage or distribution components of the water systems. This Emergency Response Plan includes: Key plan of the Langdale system and list of critical system components. Types of emergencies and components at risk. Emergency contact names and phone numbers. Emergency response procedures (What to Do). Page 1-1 28.193 2009
1.2 How to Use This Emergency Response Plan (ERP) a) Review this ERP with staff who are expected to implement it. Coordinate training and refresh training on a regular basis. b) In the event of an emergency scenario refer to Tab 4, Emergency Scenarios and Response Chart. This table lists various emergency scenarios, the corresponding water system components at risk and directs the user to the associated response tab (What to Do). c) Copies of this ERP should be readily available at the following locations: - Langdale Pump Station/Chlorination Building - SCRD Engineering and Operations Office - SCRD Emergency Response Centre - SCRD Works Yard - Vancouver Coastal Health (Sechelt) - SCRD Website d) Maintain and update in all copies of this ERP: - Chain of Command Tree - Emergency contact lists - Key plan - Critical components and equipment list At the Pump Station/Chlorination Building post up-to-date process schematics. The Langdale Pump Station detail drawing follows. An emergency plan is of little or no value if it contains out-dated information. Please ensure this Emergency Response Plan contains the latest updates. Page 1-2 28.193 2009

1.3 Definitions a) Drinking Water Officer: The Drinking Water Officer for an area is the person appointed by the Medical Health Officer as the Drinking Water Officer, or if no appointment is made, the Medical Health Officer. b) Emergency * : Any event that may degrade the quality or quantity of potable water supplies available to serve customers. c) Emergency Officer: The person in charge to manage and provide assistance during an emergency such as fire, hazardous waste spill, earthquake or flooding (usually the local Fire Chief). d) General Manager: Means the General Manager of Infrastructure Services, or designate. e) Hazardous Chemical: Substance or material determined to be capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety and property when transported. f) Leak: Unwanted release of material from a container or pipe through a small opening or gap, generally handled as a small spill. g) Lifeline Concept * : Infrastructure and facilities that provide essential services, and that are necessary for recovery (i.e., water, wastewater, transportation, power, communications, medical care and emergency services). h) Major Emergencies * : Affect large portions, or the entire, water system. Health and safety of the community and staff would be at risk. * Adapted from AWWA M19 Emergency Planning for Water Utility Management, 1994. Page 1-3 28.193 2009
i) Major Spills: Defined in general literature as spills greater than 500 millilitres. In this case, proper procedures must be followed. j) Minor Emergencies * : Described as routine situations (i.e. pipe breaks) that are localized and affect few customers. No risk to health or safety of staff and consumers. k) Small Spill: Defined in general literature as spills less than or equal to 500 millilitres. In the case of extremely hazardous substances, spills less than 500 millilitres are considered large spills. This does not apply to the Langdale water system. l) Spill: Accidental or unexpected release of any material from a container. 1.4 Integration with Other Plans 1.4.1 Drought Management Plan Emergency conditions that may trigger actions outlined in the Drought Management Plan include: 1. Drought. 2. Prolonged loss of primary water supply. 3. Prolonged loss of system storage. 4. Reduced storage due to fighting multiple fires. For Condition 1, drought is to be addressed within the Drought Management Plan. For Conditions 2, 3 and 4, the General Manager may implement Stage 3 or Stage 4 Water Use Bans (as provided in the plan), if deemed necessary. Refer to the SCRD s Drought Page 1-4 28.193 2009
Management Plan for more details. Copies of the Drought Management Plan are available at the SCRD Office library. 1.4.2 Cross Connection Control Bylaw The primary objective of a Cross Connection Control Bylaw is to safeguard drinking water within the municipal water system from possible contamination and subsequent health risks created from backflow. Where potential sources of contamination pose a risk, physical separation or backflow prevention devices/assemblies are required to prevent the return of non-potable water to the potable water distribution system. Staff directly involved in administrating a Cross Control Bylaw as well as staff dealing with water quality and distribution system issues must be able to react as quickly as possible in order to isolate the source of contamination. The plan includes: communication to customers in the affected area; sampling; flushing; lab analysis; on-site inspections; and plan to isolate the area. Refer to the Cross Connection Control Bylaw and Tab 17 for more details. 1.4.3 Sunshine Coast Emergency Response and Recovery Plan (ERRP) The Emergency Response and Recovery Plan (ERRP) describes the roles and responsibilities of the departments and personnel for the entire Sunshine Coast Regional District during major emergencies or disasters. Page 1-5 28.193 2009
While no plan can replace the common sense and good judgement of emergency response personnel, department directors and other decision makers, the ERRP does provide a framework to guide the SCRD s efforts to respond to and recover from major emergencies or disasters. There are guidelines and checklists included in the ERRP that reflect the requirements of the British Columbia Emergency Response Management System (BCERMS). In the event of a major emergency or disaster, the ERRP will govern. Copies of the ERRP can be found at the SCRD Office (see Bill Elsner, Emergency Program Coordinator) or on the SCRD s website as linked below: http://www.scrd.ca/index.php?page_id=309 1.5 Training and Prevention Training and practice are essential for an effective emergency response. Training should be ongoing to reinforce previous training and introduce new staff to the program. As soon as training ends, people begin to forget what they have been taught. Also, staff turnovers decrease the number of trained personnel, and new problems, new techniques and changes in equipment dilute the readiness of the system to deal with emergency situations. The water system operators must take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that preventable emergencies do not occur. These measures shall include, but not be limited to the following: a) Operation and Maintenance (O&M) personnel shall receive continuous and adequate training. Page 1-6 28.193 2009
b) O&M of equipment, piping and material shall be carried out as per instructions in the manufacturer s manual, O&M manuals, and WCB and government regulations. c) The amount of chemicals stored shall not exceed the storage capacity of the facility or containment devices. d) Chemicals shall be handled and stored as per manufacturer s instructions. e) Detailed inspection of equipment, pipes, fittings, storage tanks and injection points shall be carried out regularly to identify any potential for leaks or spills. f) Develop and maintain an effective communication pathway to ensure proper response in the event of a future spill (see Chain of Command Tree on Tab 2). g) The List of Contacts in Section 4 and Appendix 1 shall be updated every 6 months or as required. h) The Emergency Officer shall be familiar with the MSD sheets of the chemical stored in the Chlorination Building. i) The Emergency Officer shall also be familiar with the surrounding area, local infrastructure and geography (watercourses, ditches, ground profile, vegetation, etc.). Training Courses Operations personnel should take courses in confined space entry, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid, and response to chlorine spills. A training program should be provided with details on the system and system operation. The SCRD s Utilities Supervisor is responsible for arranging training courses. Training Exercises Training and practice are essential for an effective emergency response. Training exercises allow personnel to practice response, recovery and evaluation. On-site training can be practised or table-top what-if scenarios can be worked through. Page 1-7 28.193 2009
Training exercises are the key to a successful emergency response, as often the training exercises will point out problems or gaps in the intended emergency response plan. The SCRD s Utilities Supervisor is responsible for arranging training sessions. Page 1-8 28.193 2009
WATER SYSTEM EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM 2.0 SYSTEM COMPONENTS 2.1 How the System Works The Langdale system includes a 60 HP pump which draws water from the well located next to the ferry terminal. This pump runs until the reservoir level reaches the stop set point. When the pump shuts off, the reservoir will supply pressure for the system. Level control is achieved using a radio link from the reservoir to the pump station. Water quality from the well is excellent and the only treatment is the addition of hypochlorite while pumping into the system. Maintaining a chlorine dosage of 0.3 mg/l is generally adequate to maintain a good residual at the end of the system. 2.2 System Components The Langdale water system components include: Langdale Pump Station - houses well pump and chlorination equipment - pump station pumps to the distribution system and the wood stave reservoir - SCADA alarm system is set to call out for critical alarms such as chlorine residual 50,000 Igal Langdale Reservoir (wood stave) Page 2-1 28.193 2009
- power to reservoir supplied from neighbour s property with an extension cord (with battery back-up) - ultrasonic level sensor with high and low alarms (at present these alarms will not result in a call out) PRV Station (1) located at Tideview Road. SCADA System (located at the pumphouse) - SCADA control of reservoir level - UPS for SCADA for 2 days - intrusion alarm on door and SCADA panel - in the event of a communication failure the local control will operate the pump for one hour on/one hour off, repeatedly, until communication is back Fire Hydrants (24) Major system components are shown in Photos 2-1 through 2-7. 2.2.1 Water Supply and Treatment Photo 2-1 Well, Pump Station, SCADA and Chlorination Building (12% Sodium Hypochlorite) Page 2-2 28.193 2009

Potential modes of failure of this supply are through: Page 3-4 28.193 2009
a) Contamination of the well Contamination of the well could impact the water quality in the distribution system, rendering the water unsafe for public use. Contamination can be bacteriological or chemical (see Tab 7). b) Loss of well pump Loss of the well pump. Alternate supply could temporarily be fed from Hopkin s Landing through an existing valve connection (see Tab 7). The Hopkin s Landing supply is unchlorinated (boil water advisory may be required at the discretion of the Drinking Water Officer (DWO)). Water Use Restrictions (following the Drought Management Plan) may apply at the discretion of the General Manager. Both modes of failure would result in loss of the source. 3.3.2 Langdale Storage Tank A wood stave 50,000 Igal storage tank provides Langdale with system storage. Plans are to replace this tank in 2009. Potential modes of failure are: a) Intrusion and/or contamination of the reservoir Intrusion and/or contamination of the tank could impact water quality in the distribution system, rendering the water unsafe for public use. (see Tab 8) Page 3-5 28.193 2009
b) Low storage due to high water demand Low storage due to high water demand (i.e. for fighting multiple fires). Water use restrictions may be required at the discretion of the General Manager (see Drought Management Plan). c) Structural collapse Structural collapse. This would have an immediate impact on the home located directly below the reservoir (see Tab 10). Emergency responders including the Utilities Supervisor, Drinking Water Officer and Fire Chief must be notified in this event. System must be isolated from pumping into the reservoir. 3.3.3 PRV s There is one PRV in the Langdale system. There are two modes of failure for PRV s. a) Fail open If a PRV failed in an open position, excessive high pressure would occur at residences near the ocean shore (see Tab 18). b) Fail closed If a PRV failed in a closed position, water would be shut off to the consumers and infrastructures (i.e. hydrants) downstream of the PRV (see Tab 18). These modes of PRV failure could occur if, for example, a PRV was illegally accessed and tampered with. Page 3-6 28.193 2009
3.3.4 SCADA System The SCADA System (local PLC) is presently set up to remotely control the reservoir level from the main SCADA controls located at the Langdale Pump Station. Data from the system can be viewed at the Water Treatment Plant. The SCADA system also sets high and low level alarm and building intrusion alarms. In the event of alarm, the system will call out to a standby operator. The initial phone call is to the SCRD answering service contractor (Eagle Answering Phone: 604-885-5111). 3.4 Recovery Program The steps to a successful recovery program after dealing with an emergency and getting the system back to operation are noted in Tab 21. The steps should be taken to prevent a similar situation (if avoidable) in the future. Page 3-7 28.193 2009

PA#1 Name of Owner/Operator: Effective Date: LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM BOIL WATER NOTICE Laboratory tests indicate the presence of e.coli bacteria in the drinking water. If e.coli bacteria are present in drinking water supplies, this is a serious concern because disease-causing microorganisms (pathogens) may be present. These pathogens include bacteria, viruses and parasites that can cause enteric symptoms (diarrhea, cramps, nausea, vomiting or other symptoms). Boiling the water kills these organisms. People with weakened or undeveloped immune systems are most at risk [this includes: elderly people, pregnant women and their unborn, very young children (under 2), people with AIDS, cancer, diabetes or kidney disease and people being treated with immuno-suppressing medications (antibiotics, chemotherapy, etc.] Water users are advised to bring all water to a rolling boil for at least one minute and let it cool before using it or, use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice. We will inform you when you no longer need to boil your water. BOIL WATER NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE ENQUIRIES?

PA#2 LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM WATER QUALITY ADVISORY Laboratory tests indicate the presence of total coliform bacteria in the drinking water. The total coliforms may be due to inadequate disinfection treatment or distribution pipes that are in need of maintenance. Total coliform bacteria are naturally present in the environment and they are generally not harmful themselves but they indicate an increased chance that organisms causing intestinal illness may be present in the drinking water. People with undeveloped or severely weakened immune systems, infants, and elderly may be at increased risk. Due to the above concerns and as a precautionary measure, water users are advised to bring all water to a rolling boil for at least one minute and let it cool before using it or, use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice. We will inform you when the Water Quality Advisory is removed.

PA#3 LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM BOIL WATER ADVISORY Due to a malfunction with our disinfection system, potentially contaminated water has entered the distribution system and there is a significant risk that the drinking water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, cramps, headaches, nausea or other symptoms. Boiling the water kills these organisms. People with weakened or undeveloped immune systems are most at risk [this includes: elderly people, pregnant women and their unborn, very young children (under 2), people with AIDS, cancer, diabetes or kidney disease and people being treated with immuno-suppressing medications (antibiotics, chemotherapy, etc.]. Water users are advised to bring all water to a rolling boil for at least one minute and let it cool before using it or, use bottled water.

PA#4 LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM WATER QUALITY ADVISORY High turbidity levels have been detected in the drinking water supply. High turbidity (cloudiness) levels may occur in surface water sources due to seasonal weather changes causing excessive surface runoff, flooding or lake turnover. A high turbidity level may impair the effectivenss of the disinfection treatment system. If disinfection is impaired, disease-causing microorganisms may escape into the water, distribution system resulting in an increased risk of intestinal illness. People with undeveloped or weakened immune systems, infants, and elderly may be at increased risk. Due to the above concerns and as a precautionary measure, water users are advised to bring all water to a rolling boil for at least one minute and let it cool before using it or, use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice. We will inform you when the Water Quality Advisory is removed.

PA#5 LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM BOIL WATER ADVISORY Contaminated water has entered the distribution system and we ve received reports of people with symptoms typical of waterborne illness. Disease causing organisms (bacteria, viruses or parasites) may have entered the distribution system. These organsisms can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, headaches, nausea vomiting or other symptoms. Boiling the water kills these organisms. People with weakened or undeveloped immune systems are most at risk [this includes: elderly people, pregnant women and their unborn very young children (under 2), people with AIDS, cancer, diabetes or kidney disease and people being treated with immuno-suppressing medications).

PA#6 LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM DO NOT USE WATER NOTICE We have recently discovered that an unknown quantity of a chemical contaminant may have entered the water supply system. Water samples are being collected to determine if the water quality meets the standards in the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (6 th Edition). The chemical contaminant may be at a level that makes our water supply toxic and unfit for drinking or bathing. As a precautionary measure to avoid health risks, we are advising water users to use bottled water or an alternate source of water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, bathing, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling the water will not make it safe. If alternate water sources are used, the water must be from Health Authority approved sources only. The water in our hot water tank may also be unsafe.

WATER SYSTEM EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM TAB 7 CONTAMINATION OF WATER SOURCE - WHAT TO DO
WATER SYSTEM EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM TAB 7 CONTAMINATION OF WATER SOURCE WHAT TO DO CONTAMINATION OF LANGDALE WELL Contamination of the well could impact the water quality in the distribution system rendering the water unsafe for public use. If contamination of the Langdale Well is suspected, the following steps should be taken: What to Do 1. Determine the source, nature and severity of the contamination. 2. If necessary, shut-down the well pump. 3. Notify the Utilities Supervisor or Utilities Manager who will notify the Drinking Water Officer and then follow the Chain of Command Tree to notify water users that the water is unsafe (Tab 2). Issue an Advisory as directed by the Drinking Water Officer (see Tab 6 for template). The media liaison will contact and arrange for radio, television, door-to-door and newspaper release. When going door-to-door, leave notices if residents are not home. 4. Determine if alternate source of water is required. If so, possibilities include: a) Hopkins Landing System (if there is no potential for contamination of the Hopkins Landing System) b) Bottled Water c) Bulk Water Hauler Canadian Springs 5. Correct the problem (may include flushing of the distribution system.) Page 1 28.193 2009
6. Take water samples at the well and throughout the system. Samples are to be shipped or taken directly to the laboratory for analysis. The address of the laboratory is: Maxxam Analytics 8577 Commerce Court, Burnaby, B.C. Phone: 604-444-4808 Fax: 604-444-4511 Toll Free: 1-800-440-4808 Email: info@maxxamanalytics.com The sample reception is open 6 days a week: Monday Friday: 8:30 am 5:00 pm; Saturday: 9:00 am 3:00 pm 7. Have Drinking Water Officer determine if water is safe. 8. Once the water quality results are acceptable to the Drinking Water Officer, issue notice that water is again safe. (See Tab 6 for template.) Instructions for Feeding Hopkins Landing Water to the Langdale System Refer to the drawing posted at the station. If there is sufficient water flush the 2 blow off located by valve A just west of the intersection of North Road and Marine Drive.

WATER SYSTEM EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM TAB 11 SPILL CONTAINMENT WHAT TO DO SPILL CONTAINMENT Small spills or leaks may be handled directly by the Operators responsible for the operation and maintenance of the water system. Actions to control and stop small spills may be taken at the direction of the O&M personnel who are familiar and trained to handle the associated hazards. The most hazardous chemical currently used in the Langdale water system is the 12% sodium hypochlorite. In all cases of a spill (small or major) or other spills such as vehicle transport of chemicals, the Drinking Water Officer must receive a written report of the threat to water supply within 24 hours (section 12(3)(b)). A template for the report is available in Tab 6. What to Do Small Spill 1. Identify reason and location of leak or spill. 2. Taking SAFETY and WorkSafe BC requirements into account, arrange to stop the leak or spill (i.e. changing containers if necessary). 3. Clean-up area of spill use dechlorinating agent if directing to a storm sewer, or in areas of creeks, ditches or streams. 4. Make adjustments if required so spill/leak will not happen again. Page 1 28.193 2009
Major Spill Major spills must be handled as follows: 1. If evacuation is necessary, evacuate the immediate area. 2. Advise any worker in and adjacent the chemical building. 3. If there is a threat to the water system, shut down the system. 4. Notify the Drinking Water Officer/Emergency Officer and/or the Fire Department. 5. If Well is contaminated follow Tab 7 instructions. (Tab 7 Contamination of Water Source). 6. If the spill is large enough to contaminate the area beyond the treatment facilities and threaten human health, notify a Public Safety Office or the Police to request assistance in managing the spill and restrict access to non-protected and non-qualified personnel. 7. Obtain and wear chemical protective clothing, eye and hand protection, and suitable respiratory protection. 8. Do not re-enter the contaminated area until an Emergency Officer, Fire Chief or a trained operator arrives and indicates it is safe to do so. 9. Report, to the emergency personnel on-site, the nature of the spill, chemicals involved in location, amount and extent of the affected area. 10. Never re-enter the contaminated area alone. 11. If the responsible officer on-site determines that the spill can be contained, the following actions may be taken by the qualified emergency personnel: (i) Contain major spills by dyking with sand, soil or other non-combustible material. (ii) Contain major spills by using dry clean-up methods such as absorbent material. (iii) Transfer the spilled material into approved waste containers for proper disposal. Follow Government Regulations for disposal of hazardous materials. (iv) Avoid spilled material to flow into any watercourse. (v) Comply with WCB regulations. Page 2 28.193 2009
Actions after a Major Spill Immediately after a major spill tasks must be carried out as explained below. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Inspect contaminated area and identify any equipment, material, soil, etc., that has been contaminated. Arrange for disposal of contaminated material, soil, etc., as per Federal, Provincial or Local Regulations. Consult with the local agencies if required. Decontaminate, repair or replace any equipment or emergency equipment/tools as required. After clean-up procedures are complete, inspect the facilities with the Drinking Water Officer / Emergency Officer to ensure that normal operations can be resumed safely. Prepare a written report to the Drinking Water Officer of the threat to the water supply within 24 hours of the incident (Section 12(3)(b)). A template for the report is provided in Tab 6.

WATER SYSTEM EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM TAB 12 POWER FAILURE - WHAT TO DO
WATER SYSTEM EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM TAB 12 - POWER FAILURE WHAT TO DO POWER FAILURE In the event of a power outage, the well pump will shut down. The reservoir will provide temporary storage only (normally 4 hours). A back-up mobile generator is parked at the Works Yard on Mason Road. What to Do 1. Check the pump station and contact B.C. Hydro if the power is out. 2. Once power is restored, check the pump station to see that it is operating properly. 3. If it seems like a long shut down (more than 4 6 hours) take the following steps: a) The pumping system has allowance for the connection of a portable generator. Connect a portable generator, if available, from at the Works Yard. (See below for details How to Connect). b) If a portable generator is not available, arrange for an alternate source (such as Chapman source, Hopkins Landing, bottled, bulk delivery of water, or dispensing of water. See Tabs 7 & 8 for more detail on using these sources). Notify the users of the shut down (go house to house, leave notices if residents are not at home). Notify the Local Health Authority of the water system shut down. Page 1 28.193 2009
Give users and local Health Authority an update on when the system should be operational. c) The Fire Department must be notified if a genset is shared between locations. How to Connect the Portable Generator to the System at the Pump House The Generator is kept at the Mason Road works yard. Use a suitable truck to tow the unit to the pump station. Check that the power is still off at the station. Open the electrical box to the left of the main door on the outside of the station. Remove the bottom panel. In the box on the back of the generator, pull out the cord and connect it to the outlet on the station. Inside the station, to the right of the door, switch the main disconnect from hydro to generator. Start the generator. Engage the power to the building. When hydro is restored, shut down the power at the generator. The diesel generator can be left running to allow it a cool down period. Switch the main disconnect back to hydro from generator. Check the station to insure proper operation. Check that communications have been properly restored. Shut down the diesel generator. Page 2 28.193 2009
WATER SYSTEM EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM TAB 13 PUMP FAILURE - WHAT TO DO
WATER SYSTEM EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN LANGDALE WATER SYSTEM TAB 13 PUMP FAILURE WHAT TO DO PUMP FAILURE Pump failure is possible for disruption of the system. (as per DWO, the SCRD should have a back-up pump on-site and a procedure for replacement) What to Do 1. Investigate the nature of the pump failure. 2. Repair or replace pump or pumps. In the meantime, adopt procedures as per Tab 9, Loss of Water Source. Procedure for Replacement of Pump with Back-up Pump Determine if complete replacement is required or if it is a motor problem. o See contact list for electrician and Pika Pump Service. If it is determined that the pump needs to be replaced, the following tools and equipment are required: o Spare pump located at the Works Yard. Column and pump are located in the storage shed. New motor is in the works building. Page 1 28.193 2009
o Crane service Lons Crane, Phone: 604-886-4999, Cell 604-740-1012 K&E Towing, Phone: 604-885-8153 o Large chain wrenches o Angle Grinder o Standard hand tools Have electrician or qualified person lock out and disconnect pump. Open hatch in roof. Remove top cover. Remove large nut from shaft, uncouple shaft to pump, remove shaft. Remove motor with crane. Unbolt base from floor. Use crane to lift the pump assembly. As lifting it will be necessary to brace lower sections and disassemble the sections of the column. Ensure the lower section of pump will not be allowed to drop into the well as the column is taken apart. o When taking apart a section it is good practice to brace below the next collar. o This may require taking the sections apart on the roof of the station while bracing at the well head. The sections may unscrew but the collars will most likely have to be cut with the angle grinder. Once the old pump has been removed, assemble the new pump as it is being lowered into the well. Install the electric motor and check the rotation. Connect the motor to the pump. Use the adjusting nut to adjust the height of the impeller. Check for free rotation of the shaft before energizing the pump. Test run the pump using the valves to throttle the flow as necessary. Page 2 28.193 2009
Note these instructions are not detailed. If you are not comfortable performing this pump replacement do not attempt this service. Get the required help. See the contact list for Pika Pump and Compressor Sales. Page 3 28.193 2009
