Morning Rain, Afternoon Showers Working On the Spring Pipeline

Tuesday March 24, 2020 Guerneville CA.

Working on the spring water pipe line

It rained this morning until about noon when it let up with just some showers after that.

I got my tools together and loaded them on the quad runner. I put on a rain coat just in case and headed across the road and up into the hills where our water springs are located.

Work area

I parked here where I’m going to do some work on the pipe line just down below this point.

No yellow jackets

There’s a place in the water line where there were a bunch of yellow jackets last summer so that part of the pipe trail was left undone. With the rain and it being cool out I figured the yellow jackets might not be out today and they weren’t.

This is the spot that needed some trail work were the bees were.

Pipe trail

After some work the pipe trail looked like this.

It showered on me a few times but with all the trees not much water got through to me to get me wet.

I also worked on this part that also needed a trail to level the water pipe out.

Spring clean out

Once that was done I went up to the spring that feeds this pipe and cleaned it out. It wasn’t bad but there was a little dirt in there that washed out when I flushed the spring pipe.

After that I wanted to make sure the water was still running so I went down to this tee and pulled it apart to check for water flow.
