This is a message
from the Kootenai County Water District No. 1 Board of Directors.
This is a water system emergency notification. A failure of the water system controls caused
the reservoir to deplete causing widespread water service interruption in the
District this morning.
In addition, a large main break has been discovered on Mullan
Trail. The District can isolate this
break and still fill the reservoir manually, but we need all Patrons to immediately
reduce water use to a minimum, or none at all if possible, for the rest of the
day. The reservoir recovery is estimated
to be around 6:00 PM this evening.
Please monitor the KCWD#1 blog at www.kcwd1.blogspot.com for any further updates, and let your neighbors know the
current status of this water emergency, as not all Patrons have subscribed to
the blog.
Encourage your neighbors to subscribe to the blog to receive
emails, when information is posted, via the link on the left side of the Home
page of the KCWD#1 blog. Also, if you have neighbors that do not get the
automated emergency calls, please encourage them to sign up by using the Emergency
Phone Contact Information Form that is linked in the upper right of
the Home page of the District blog.
Thank you.
