Emergency Leak Repair at E Sunnyside and Capt John Mullan

UPDATE:  At 6:30 PM the District repair crew began flushing the lines on Sunnyside in the process of re-pressurizing after completing the repair of the Main.  Both booster pump stations at Vista Heights and Grouse Meadows were being checked around 7:30 PM to determine if the pumps needed to be primed to bring back on line.  Pressures should begin to recover to normal levels in all areas of the District over the next few hours.

---------------------------------------------------

The District is responding to a large leak in the main at E Sunnyside and Capt. John Mullan.  In order to isolate it and get the main repaired, several valves will be need to be turned off to preserve the reservoir storage while the work is done.

ALL OF THE EAST AND SOUTH SIDE OF THE DISTRICT FROM CAPT. JOHN MULLAN WILL BE AFFECTED, INCLUDING SUNNYSIDE, BONNELL, VISTA LOOP, HIGHVIEW AND KINGSWOOD.

ETR (Estimated Time of Restoration) is 5:00 PM this evening, but may be earlier if the repair goes better than anticipated.

Third Leak Repair on Vista Loop

The District will be repairing a third leak on Vista Loop.  The plan is not to turn off any valves, but depending on the nature of the leak, valves may have to be turned off briefly to stop water flowing to install the repair clamp(s).  If the valves have to be shut, the 4000 blocks of Vista Loop and Bonnell may be affected.

Continued Repair Work on Vista Loop Today, Saturday, September 4, 2021

Update 3:54 PM:  Valves turned back on.  All water service should be back on.  Good news, long term leak is repaired!

Update 2:00 PM:  Valves being turned off at this time.  Please cease water use until valves turned back on shortly.  Monitor blog for valve turn-on announcement.

Update 1:30 PM:  There is a delay as different parts were needed than was originally planned, so valve turn-off is delayed.  Will update when new time is communicated.

There is ongoing work to repair a leak on Vista Loop today, Saturday, September 4, 2021.  At approximately 1:00 PM, the District is planning to close two valves that will affect Water Patrons in the 3200-3800 block of Vista Loop, and the 3800 block of S Bonnell.  E Highview Patrons are also asked to temporarily cease water use at this time to keep the Vista Booster reservoir full and lines pressurized.  The valves are expected to be closed for a short duration to allow the cutting and capping of an exposed pipe.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Repair Work on Leak #2 on Vista Loop - Water Service Interruptions

Update 4:20 PM:  Water Service has been restored.  Please call JD Owen at (208) 660-8092 if you are still experiencing a water service interruption.

Update 11:00 AM:  Estimated Time of Restoration (ETR) is 5:00 PM.

Repair Work on Leak #2 on Vista Loop will begin in the next half hour.  In order to isolate it, the main valves that will have to be closed will cause Water Service Interruptions to Patrons on parts of Vista Loop, E Highview, and Bonnell.  Will update with an ETR when District personnel have finished evaluating the scope of the work. 

Leak #1 Repaired on Vista Loop

One of the leaks discovered in the last few days has been repaired on Vista Loop today, but the dig site still requires restoration.  There is another leak that still needs to be repaired on Vista Loop and a third on Bonnell.  Repair work will continue tomorrow.  Patrons served by the Vista Booster Pump Station that were affected by today's work had full pressure restored at around 7:00 PM this evening.

A Special Board of Directors Meeting will be held via Zoom and in-person at the Fire Station at 7739 E Sunnyside Rd. to interview a candidate for the Water System Operator position.  Please see agenda on the Meeting Agendas page.

Emergency Water Conservation Measures Suspension

Effective today, September 1, 2021, KCWD#1 is suspending most of the Emergency Measures to conserve water.  The cooler weather, along with Patrons' efforts, have resulted in a sustained pattern in the last few weeks of being able to meet the daily peak demand for water without having to run the pumps 24 hours. 

The District is still requesting that non-food landscape watering still be done on an odd/even day schedule until winterizing your sprinkler systems.  Thank you all for your cooperation these last few months, and your continued cooperation as we head into Fall and Winter.

Please see page:  UPDATED! Mandatory Water Conservation Measures

Leaks on Vista Loop Under Repair

Three leaks on Vista Loop were discovered and the District crew is on site for repair.  The Vista booster pump is down in order to isolate the leaks.  All Patrons supplied via the Vista Boosters, including Highview, Vista Loop, will experience water service interruptions until the leaks are repaired.  Estimated Time of Restoration (ETR) is 5:00 PM this evening.
