Re: A request for old photos of the Lava pump house

I'm wondering if at one time there was isolation valving for the previous pumphouse, did it use the same piping up the hill to
the Lava tank? As John and I have talked it would be difficult to pump (throughput on a pump) something large enough to clog
a 4" pipe and unlikely that you could collapse a piece of Sch 40 steel pipe (buried in the ground) with some external force. Tis
a mystery. I've suggested running a plumbing snake up the pipe to at least ascertain the position of the blockage, as John said
the amount of water expelled during the test was at best a few gallons suggesting that the blockage is less than 50 feet from
the pump house.
