Kootenai County Fire responded to a fire at lower Sunnyside near Lakeshore earlier today. They used raw water from the District hydrants below the sand filters, so we are now recovering sand filter water levels and contact chamber levels to continue to fill the reservoir. Thankfully, the reservoir was near full at 7:00 PM yesterday evening, and even with the normal early morning draw down, the reservoir level is currently recovering as the sand filters and contact chamber refill after the fire department diverted raw water to fight the fire.
Thank you all for continuing to conserve water use!
