ACTION REQUEST
Commission approval to re-wire FM 2004 water well due to theft of wiring.
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
During the period from October 15th - October 18th of this year, thieves broke into the FM 2004 water-well site three different times and a large amount of wiring was stolen. The main supply wiring was stolen, and in the process, the large motor control centers that control the operation of the pumps sustained severe damage. Currently, the site is non-operational, and the wiring to connect an emergency standby generator was stolen as well. Crescent Electric evaluated the damages and estimated the cost of repairs to not exceed $450,000.00. The cost of just the stolen wire is estimated at $100,000.00.
$450,000.00 is just an estimated price at this time and hopefully the actual cost will be less than estimated. Crescent is continuing to evaluate the damages and will provide a final proposal when completed.
