To all Patrons:
If you have been monitoring the blog, you will know that District personnel have been responding to a major leak on Bonanza Rd. today that affected Patrons on Kitty Lane, Bonanza Rd. and Dillon Rd.
However, as of 8:30 PM this evening, power is still not restored to the Grouse Meadows Booster Station. Avista crews are still working in the area and have given a tentative ETR of 11:00 PM tonight. If the power is restored, District personnel will have to prime the pump to get it operating.
The District has been considering moving the generator that was disconnected Saturday evening at the Main Pump House up to the Grouse Meadows Booster Station. The assessment of the station has revealed that connecting to a generator at this station is not straight forward, as the electrical feed is under ground, and we would need to coordinate with Avista in order to make this connection. It is definitely preferable to have power restored, but the District is monitoring the situation closely.
REMINDER! DO NOT DRINK ANY WATER COMING FROM THE SYSTEM AT THIS TIME UNLESS YOU HAVE BOILED THE WATER FOR AT LEAST ONE MINUTE.
THE WATER, AS SUPPLIED, CAN BE USED FOR ALL NON-POTABLE USES INCLUDING TOILET FLUSHING, LAUNDRY, SHOWERS (DO NOT DRINK!), AND LIVESTOCK.
THE DISTRICT WILL NOTIFY PATRONS WHEN THE WATER PRODUCED BY THE SYSTEM HAS TESTED AS BEING SAFE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
