South Well pump

I found the spare pressure switch, heres a picture of the cover of the old switch. You can see where it arched and melted a hole in the cover.

Water Problems

The pressure switch on the well that feeds most of camp is busted. It shorted out for some reason, melting through its plastic casing. I had found a spare pressure switch a few months back now if I can just remember where I put it.....
