Rewinding update

Here's the status of all the pump motors which were due to be rewound under these two contracts. The original solicitation is here. The Times-Picayune article that first talked about the problem of unrewound motors is here.

Note: all the station names below are weblinks that take you to Google Maps pages with the stations' locations

Station 1
Pump "B," 550 cfs, rewinding complete
Pump "C," 1000 cfs, rewinding complete
Pump "D," 1000 cfs, rewinding complete
Pump "E," 1000 cfs, rewinding complete

Note: Pump "A," 550 cfs, burned up Dec. 15th and was rewound by the S&WB.

Station 2
Pump "A," 550 cfs, rewinding complete
Pump "B," 550 cfs, rewinding in progress
Pump "C," 1000 cfs, rewinding not started

complete
Pump "B," 550 cfs, rewinding complete

Pump "E," 1000 cfs, rewinding complete
Pump "F," 1000 cfs, rewinding
