Kootenai County Water District #1 Information Site
5:00 PM: Leak repaired. All water services restored.
11:30 AM: An emergency repair of a leak on Vista Loop is underway. In order to isolate the leak location to repair the pipe, crews will need to shut valves in that vicinity, and possibly the Vista Booster station. This will/may cause water service interruptions today on Bonnell, Vista Loop and Highview. ETR (Estimated Time of Restoration) of water service to the area will be late this afternoon.
An Executive Session MS Teams meeting has been called for December 17, 2021 at 3:00 P.M. {Idaho Code 74-206A (1) (a) & (b) (j)} Engineer facility plan matters.
Water Service for E Highview has been restored as of 4:50 PM, except for the Patron whose service line was leaking. That line has been isolated with a temporary valve. Patron has been notified directly and drinking water has been supplied by the District for their use until repair work can resume tomorrow to replace the old line.
UPDATE 10:50 AM: The leak appears to be in an old galvanized service line, and not the main. Unfortunately, it crosses the road, and in order to isolate it, the crew will need to turn off the valve that controls flow from the Vista Booster Station, so they can uncover the service line connection to the main. All of Highview and Kingswood may experience a service interruption when this valve is closed, but it will hopefully be of short duration.
A leak was reported on E Highview Drive late yesterday afternoon. Crews are on site this morning and are ready to begin repairs. After uncovering the portion of the pipe with the leak, a valve will need to be shut in order to isolate the leak for repair. Patrons in the 7300 to 7800 portion of E Highview will experience service interruptions until the repairs are completed. Estimated time of Restoration (ETR) is 5:00 PM this evening.
