Our last update was the arrival of the cab in Meyersdale, PA and the inspection trip that the committee made. Now, we are getting ready for the 'Build Stage'. Several committee members made another trip to 4-Guys in the last week of September. This trip was to complete the 'engineering' of the pump panel(s). Most of the parts have been either delivered or are on order. According to 4-Guys, our unit is scheduled to have the pump installed on the chassis in the middle of October. After this is completed, the chassis will be moved into the area where they will build the 'body' of the apparatus, sometime near the end of October.
At this point, we are looking at a completion date of sometime in January.
For now, here are some pictures of the new 1500 GPM Waterous Pump with 'Monarch Intake Valves' and a PDF attachment of the driver and passenger side pump panels.
