KCWD1 Repair

 Attention Patrons in these service areas:  There is an active leak on Little Joe Rd.  the following areas may have there service affected; Little Joe Rd., Allen Rd., Hass Ln, Cartwright Rd., and Regan Rd.  The estimated time of repair, 5:00 P.M.

Water District Plant Back Online!

Great news!  Avista crews worked overnight, and power was restored around 5:00 AM this morning.  The reservoir had dropped from around 13 feet, when the power was lost, to around 7 feet when the power came back on.

Thank you, everyone, for conserving water use and keeping the system distribution infrastructure pressurized.

The District expects that there will be a draw down of water as people get ready for school and work, but should see the beginning of recovery after this morning's spike in water use.

As the raw water pumps were also down, the District will be manually managing the balance of flow between the sand filters and clear well, with the pumping to the Distribution infrastructure, today to facilitate recovery.

At this time, KCWD#1 is asking Patrons to use water wisely for the rest of the day to help minimize the time for full system recovery.

Avista ETR 1:00 PM Tuesday

Avista has updated their outage Estimated Time of Restoration (ETR) to 1:00 PM Tuesday afternoon.  The water plant pumps will not come on until power is restored. Please continue to minimize water use to avoid depletion of the main reservoir.

Power Interruption to Water System Plant - PLEASE CONSERVE WATER USE

A tree has been blown down at Sunnyside and Wagon Wheel, taking out a pole and the 3 Phase power lines that provide power to the Water System Plant.  All pumps are down at this time, so no water is flowing from the plant to the reservoir or any other part of the Distribution network.  As it will take time for Avista to respond, and replace that pole and repair the down lines, we are asking all Patrons to conserve water use until further notice, to avoid depleting the reservoir completely.

Will update the blog as new information is made available regarding restoration of power.
