RE: [External] Fixing Stuff update
CAUTION:
A lot of parts were required for the lift station electrical repair. It was also found that telemetry went down and
required the IT provider to troubleshoot and reset it.
Telemetry is on line and more parts will be installed soon. The basic telemetry requirements are also on line.
