Fruitland, Idaho

May 26th was a driving day - we headed out from Missoula and stayed the night in Ontario, Oregon.  The next day, we headed two miles East across the Oregon-Idaho border to the town of Fruitland.  It was there that did the first tank that raised a flag with me. 

The tank is called a "clear well" - it's an underground tank at the water plant.  The "flag" was raised because the clear well had a series of concrete baffles that essentially created a maze/switchback structure within the tank.  In my opinion, we were not adequately manned to dive this tank.  To make matters worse, the tank was mirrored on the other side, essentially creating two tanks.  My team lead dove and cleaned both tanks, so the job got done...

This is the basic tank configuration:
