Last week we had to repair a pipe in the pumphouse. A small pin hole began to form in an 8 inch metal mainline that runs water from Lake Dye to our pumphouse. We had a repair like this last year on the other side of the pump (picture below). Guy Tremble from Tremble Pump & Well came and repaired the problem for us.

| Weld repair from last year still holding strong. |
 |
| Area where pipe was beginning to fail. |
The first step is grinding the area where the small hole is developing.
The final step is welding a metal patch over the existing pipe to reinforce the entire area.
 |
| The Final Product: Area has been sealed and fixed. |
