Good to know it may not need replacement. There should still be a root cause analysis to determine where the breakdown on maintenance occured to prevent future problems.
Obviously this is going to require a lot of money to fix. Probably a complete replacement. That said, it is absolutely critical to find out how the current problem came about. Without that knowledge, there is risk for this to happen again. This means tracing back to when problems first occurred or potentially showed up in maintenance reports. To start, ask all service vendors to provide records going back as far as possible, and analyze from there.
I've made right-to-know requests to try to figure out how we got in this situation. But, the simple story on that is that anti-freeze is being used in the system and the anti-freeze was not maintained.
My understanding is that a complete replacement isn't needed, although a lot of work will need to be done. One thing that seems likely is that the system will be reconfigured so that anti-freeze will no longer be required.
