City crews are continuing to work on rebuilding the second sewer pump as Coronado recovers from the flood on Jan. 22. The entire pump is being rebuilt and a few additional parts are being obtained this morning. The first pump continues to operate normally.
The city said the Country Club Area remains under a limited water use advisory for flushing and handwashing until the repairs are finalized. Free showers will continue to be available at the Community Center, 1845 Strand Way, until 7 p.m.
“Restoring this service has been our highest priority and we thank you for your patience,” City Manager Tina Friend said in a statement. “We recognize there has been a great deal of uncertainty as to timing. We are working our hardest to troubleshoot and get the systems fully operational. Replacement parts for the three stormwater parts were installed and the initial test run was successful. Crews are running additional tests today.”
City crews are also sweeping streets and cleaning storm inlets in preparation for next week’s forecasted rain. Free sandbags are being placed at six locations for residents to use. The sandbags will be available by noon Jan. 26 at:
First at Alameda Boulevard
Fourth at Alameda Boulevard
North Beach
Cays Park across from the Fire Station
Second Street at A Avenue
Park Place/Isabella Avenue, near Rotary Park Downtown.
