This message is
from the Kootenai County Water District No. 1 Board of Directors.
This is to
notify you of a water service emergency.
This morning, the District was notified of, and discovered, a break in
the raw water inlet main pipe going into the sand filter plant.
In order to stop the water
leaking, the raw water pumps have been shut down, and must remain so, until the
repair is complete. Because of the
location of the break, the District has had to call in a third party contractor
with the necessary equipment to do this repair.
Big Sky Corp. will be on site to begin the repair tomorrow morning, Monday,
at 7:00 AM. The District has arranged
for potable water trucks to keep filling the contact chamber reservoir in order
to maintain water in the distribution system, but this will not
keep up with normal demand.
The District asks that all
Patrons reduce their water use to a minimum, immediately, until further notice. The District will notify all Patrons when the
repair is complete and the system has recovered sufficiently for resuming
normal water use.
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.
