Wind Damage:
There are trees down in several places along Sunnyside Rd., one of which has taken down power lines near the pump houses. Avista has been notified of exact location so that they can get their crews there as soon as possible. Both the raw water pump house and main pump house are without power at this time, and no water is being pumped.
The reservoir was at 13 ft. at around 4:00 PM this evening, which is a fairly good buffer. However, please conserve water use at this time. Patrons that are dependent on the booster pump stations at Vista Heights and Grouse Meadows will shortly experience low pressures as water in the distribution system at these locations is depleted, so please limit water use until power is restored to those booster stations.
Please monitor the blog for further updates.
