Water System Back Online!

Update:  11:15 AM

Good news!  

Main tie-ins went so smoothly that work was completed ahead of anticipated schedule.  Valves have been re-opened and the water system is back online.  Normal water use can resume.

Reminder: Patrons who have had their water service interrupted, should open one inside tap slowly to vent any air that may have gotten into their plumbing, and then flush their lines until running water is clear, during first use.

Water System Shutdown Today, Tuesday, August 5th, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM

REMINDER:  The Kootenai County Water District No. 1 system will have a planned water service shutdown today, Tuesday, August 5, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM to allow the Phase 2 Project tie-in of two major new mains.  Main tie-ins will be done on Mullen Trail and Sunnyside Rd.  In order to accomplish this work, the valves on the main to the reservoir must be closed, and the reservoir will not be replenished while the work is being done.

All Patrons are asked to stop all water use during the shutdown period so as not to deplete the reservoir and risk depressurization of distribution mains.


Please let your neighbors know about this planned shutdown as not all Patrons subscribe to the blog.
