A problem arose concerning the pump that delivers Mi Sol sewerage waste to the main sewer on Torreta Florida. The pump is normally suspended from a lifting pulley by a steel wire, and steel chain. It was discovered that the steel chain had corroded so badly, it gave way allowing the pump to drop and lie free at the bottom of the pit. The only recourse was to remove the pump, repair the base and weld a steel strap to the pump in place of the broken chain. The pump is extremely heavy, it took four of us to lift it out.
Steve the Gardener was asked to clean the pump prior to these repairs and modifications taking place. Unfortunately, whilst doing this he slipped and fell. A visit to the hospital revealed his left wrist was fractured, and it is now in plaster.
The pump has now been modified and lowered back into position.
