PLEASE STOP ALL WATER USE FOR THE DAY UNTIL THE WATER DISTRICT NOTIFIES YOU THAT VALVES ARE RE-OPENED.  

Work is anticipated to be complete by 6:00 PM this evening, but monitor the blog for updates.

24 Hour Notice of Planned District-wide Water System Shutdown

Transcript of 24-Hour Phone Notice of District-wide Shutdown:

Phone Message June 23, 2025, 8:45 AM

This is an important 24-hour notice from the Kootenai County Water District No. 1 Board of Directors.

Tomorrow, there will be a planned District-wide Shutdown of the Water System, on Tuesday, June 24th from 9:00 am to 6:00 PM.  The District contractor will be tying in the new mains that were recently installed in the Bonanza area, as well as connecting existing meters.  In order to do this, valves will be closed on the main line that delivers water to the reservoir.  In order not to deplete the reservoir, which would cause mains to de-pressurize, it is critical that all District customers stop all water use during this shutdown until tie-ins are complete, and valves are re-opened.

Valve Shut-off Testing on Bonanza Tomorrow, Friday, June 13, 2025 - Bonanza and Grouse Meadows Customers Affected

Tomorrow, several valves along the Bonanza main line will be partially, or completely closed, in order to determine which valves will need to be shut down for the tie-ins to the new mains that have been constructed in the Bonanza area of the District as part of the Phase 2 Capital Improvements Project.  Short Water Service Interruptions and Pressure Fluctuations (anticipated to be approximately a half hour in duration) will occur for Patrons serviced by these mains in the Bonanza area as well as Grouse Meadows during this testing tomorrow, Friday, June 13, 2025.

The actual tie-ins are planned for the week of June 23rd, and will necessitate a total shut down of the water system for all Patrons.

Please monitor the blog over the next week for additional and specific information as the schedule is finalized.
