UPA’s planning and attention to detail served them well as the emergency overland water pumping system performed its task from September 2001, though the long winter and into the hot, dry summer. About three weeks away from completion of Phase II of Flume 14 reconstruction, around June 18, 2002, the pumps began failing. With so little time left to complete the reconstruction, the crew’s worked overtime to finish. They poured concrete on Saturdays and Sundays and worked 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Two of the pumps finally failed by June 20th, after having them running day and night for over nine months. Rather than perform costly repairs, the team decided to “pull the plug” and reestablish their water system again. Within a twenty-four-hour period, all water through the system was shut off, the pumps were removed from the site, the plug from the ditch was removed, and the area was reclaimed to Forest Service specifications.
