Blown Pump!

As we were getting ready for phase two of our willow tree plantings we had a little glitch! I had the pump running to get the ditch full so we could get water to the transplants quickly, but the pump had other plans! I had noticed a rattle in the pump the last time it ran and today it gave up! After a quick call to Beymer Well Service in Yuba City the crane truck showed up and the pump was pulled so we could assess the damage. The casing was rotten and the bowl had rusted completely off of the pump, leaving us with only one option, a completely new set up was needed. The guys at Beymer work quick and plan to have us back in action in a couple weeks so the trees will have to stay in the nursery for now!
