500 loop decreasing water pressure
rcarpe06 replied to rcarpe06's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
They are letting people back in the 500 loop now. Apparently they used some sort of slip joint to repair the water line. They said they may have to look at it and put it in the books a few months from now to do a more permanent repair. For now, they consider it good to go. Slip joint and bypassing the hydrant shutoff valve, seems like a shady repair and just swept under the rug to me. -

Water is back up and running at full pressure. Originally they said they would be bringing in backhoes and other large equipment once the permit went through. Instead, while they were waiting for the permit to clear, they had a few guys out there around midnight digging with shovels and had it done in a few hours. Something is fishy about their story. I saw exposed water line this morning right behind the hydrant. Now it's all covered back up. However I still don't see anyone new coming in the loop. Not sure if they're still not letting people in or if there just isn't anyone asking for this l -

Pressure is gone and still no permit. I think the problem is bigger than expected and the loop may get shut down from the phone call I just had. I have a full tank for now. But not the crap you want to deal with when you drive 21 hours to enjoy the fort. -

Just got an update and they said they can't dig 4 feet down to repair it until the permit comes through. At this point in the day, they said they won't start until tomorrow even if the permit comes through now. So if you are coming in tomorrow, please plan accordingly for another loop as no one else is coming in here. They offered to move me but with an 8 night stay, we have a ton of stuff out both inside and outside so no thanks. They did just now comp me for one night. I didn't ask, they did it on their own. We'll see what happens tomorrow. For now, the water just keeps spewing out from behi -

They are still waiting on the dig permit. I filled up my tank because the pressure is getting worse. Oh well. Time to pour a drink, relax outside, and keep job searching so we can move down here. ? -

I'm in the 500 loop and noticed the water pressure went down significantly yesterday. I checked my gear last night and this morning to make sure it wasn't on my end. After I placed a concerning phone call this morning, I got a visit this evening and they told me a water line break/leak happened at the fire hydrant near site 521. Water pressure is getting worse all over the loop tonight. They say that permits have been requested to get a team in tomorrow to dig the road to fix it. Just a heads up if you are checking in tomorrow.

I was looking at that same Blackstone griddle. I'm going to head over to Walmart after work to check it out. -

Thanks for the info! Sorry you didn't receive notice to make other arrangements. We are arriving next Friday and I always cook with my charcoal grill. Time to look at propane alternatives. -
