Thunderstorms disrupt area water pressure

There was water, water everywhere during Friday’s storms across eastern New Mexico. But Mother Nature’s show left some Clovis residents with low water pressure.

“Thunderstorms in the area disrupted power and communications to the Llano tank site and associated booster stations,” EPCOR spokesman Matt Atwood wrote in an email.

He said “a handful of residents that live on the highest points of the system had low pressure.”

“Reports of low pressure (came in) late Friday evening around 11pm. Within a couple hours, EPCOR crews were able to get the booster stations running and system pressure immediately began to stabilize,” Atwood wrote.

Atwood said the system was operating near normal within the early hours Saturday morning before people were starting to wake up and was fully restored by 1 p.m. Sunday.
