PUMP OUT WORKING AGAIN

Hi fellow members,

We replaced 3 faulty solenoid valves and Jamie Harrison repaired a safety valve on our vacuum pump system and it appears to be functioning again!  I remind everybody to flush the system for a few minutes when you are done your pump out ( hose in the lake ) .  Thanks.

GAS Dock

The Gas dock will be open starting Friday May 19th  from 4-8 pm and again Saturday from 8:30-noon.  And then, Wednesday and Friday evenings and Saturday afternoon until further notice

Gas Dock

Fellow Members,  as mentioned at Sail past –  Rudy has confirmed his holidays for early July.  The Fuel dock will be closed from July 7th-16th.  If you need fuel you can contact myself at 519-374-1457 or Jamie Harrison at 519-375-2406 and we will try to accommodate.

We are still having problems with the newer vacuum pump-out but the old system works fine if you prime the line with water from the hose.  A big thank-you to Ben Miller once again for getting the new sewage pump changed out last week.
