Hauling Water - Finger Lakes Style!

On April 15th, more than 75 folks from the Seneca County, New York and surrounding region participated in a rural water supply drill using 13 tankers and two fills site. The drill culminated our 14-hr Rural Water Supply Operations Seminar that was sponsored by the Seneca County Department of Emergency Services and the Seneca County Chiefs Association and hosted by the Fayette Fire Department. This was our fourth seminar for the folks in Seneca County over the last ten years and was well-attended and supported as always. The departments have made great strides in improving their rural water supply operations. During this year's drill, crews were able to hit the 1000 gpm flow mark using a 4-dump tank arrangement and a 10-mile round trip tanker shuttle route.
