Unfortunately, the joint visit today were unable to resolve the issue. The chamber was drained to a level that it was established the pump is working and sat correctly. The tanker had a limited capacity so the full contents of the chamber was unable to be completely emptied as wished. It also appears that there may be other issues as to why the pump is not working which need to be investigate further.
We will need another joint visit from both contractors in the near future. We will update the notice when we have further information. The next closest pumpout available is at Stanley Ferry.
