Dang! We have several water plant operators on here. I also run a 12 mgd surface water plant in central Alabama.
Don't know if you have ever seen one, but this is a "microfloc" plant (by US Filter) and the water from hitting the raw water intake to the clearwell is only about 10-15 minutes depending on the rate at the time (no settling basins and high rate dual media filters).

Looks like mud going through the flocculators on those conventional plants. We work 7 days/12 hr shifts then off 7 days. Swap days to nights every other month. I have enough for retirement at 29 years and counting (only need 25 yrs here on state retirement system we are on) just waiting another 10 years or so for ss to kick in...if it's still there...lol We feed the entire county plus a few small paying systems and did have a few areas with lower psi. The distribution experts installed a couple of "helper" stations and then those people started complaining about pressure being too high. Doesn't seem to be any middle ground there.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
