1. In parts of the District, and especially in the older parts of the Bonanza District, there are undocumented service lines that are routed across the road. While the District and Contractor do their best to locate and mark where the existing water lines are, these undocumented lines are difficult to locate, and can be damaged when excavation is done to construct the new water main. These breaks need to be repaired on an emergency basis so that construction can continue, and will require water service outages during those repairs.
2. The old mains are very old and brittle, and existing leaks, and failures of these old pipes (possibly due to the construction vehicle traffic), will need to be repaired on an emergency basis if it is determined that not doing so will impede construction of the new mains. These emergency repairs will require water service outages to the Patrons that are serviced by these old mains.
KCWD#1 will do its best to give advanced notice of these water service outages, but this is not always possible, as the repairs are having to be done as they occur. Please refer to the KCWD#1 blog for specific information and updates during these events. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
