This message is
from the Kootenai County Water District No. 1 Board of Directors.
The District is
still experiencing a water service emergency due to a break in the raw water
inlet main pipe going into the sand filter plant.
Please! It is imperative that all Patrons stop any water
use immediately until further notice, as the previous request to reduce use to
a minimum has not been sufficiently done to allow the District to maintain
water in the reservoir to supply the demand even with continuously bringing in
3000 gallon potable water trucks! We are
now at a dangerously low level of a half foot in the reservoir, and if it drops
further, the distribution system could become depressurized to the extent that
a boil order would have to be put in place.
The District will notify all
Patrons when the repair is complete and the system has recovered sufficiently
for resuming normal water use. We are
anticipating that the repair will be complete by the end of today.
Please check the KCWD#1 blog at www.kcwd1.blogspot.com for updates, and let your neighbors know about this water system emergency,
as not all Patrons have subscribed to the emergency notification system or blog.
Thank you.
