Stick to you guns there. Sounds like your on the right path. You are a rate payer/tax payer and you have first hand knowledge of these problems,. You might be competent enough to work safely around these areas as they are, everyone may not, Thats the reason behind the code, to help protect everyone. Water plants last a long time and you won't be there forever, so by getting this took care of now you are saving everybody money now as it would cost much more to fix it later after someone gets hurt or even killed. You must however be tactful when stating you point, firm but tactful. I work for the local water plant here in town too. We have a large resivoir instead of the wells. I guess the only thing here I don't care for is the 2400 VAC all our pumps run on. We have a direct feed 7 miles from town and 2400 Volts coming out of own Xformer bank and 2400 VAC MCC 25 years old. Its all coming out next year going back with 480/277 thank god.
