Pump Switch Blew
By CASSANDRA CHAPEL
On Saturday there suddenly
was a water shortage in lone.
Something had gone wrong with
the pump on the well and the
pressure just wasn't there.
Citizens were cautioned not to
use any water that was not
absolutely necessary, not to
flush toilets, do any washing,
etc. There was speculation that
if the pump could not be
repaired for a while the old well
would have to be used. That
would have meant heavy chlor
ination, which might not have
been pleasant. The lone -Wheeler
basketball game even
had to be played on Saturday
night in Heppner. But happily,
the pump was repaired on
Monday and everything got
back to normal.
