KCWD1 BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

The board meeting is Wednesday January 24, 2024 at 6:00 P.M. located at 6095 Mullan Trail Rd. The agenda can be viewed under the  Pages/agendas tab.

Lake Pump House Restored to Normal Operation

The new transformer has been installed and the raw water intake Pump House is back to normal operation.

Household water use can now resume to normal levels.

Thank you to all Patrons who helped by reducing their water use during this system failure emergency!  With all the measures taken - potable water deliveries, reduced consumption; the system was able to maintain all critical parameters to deliver safe water to all Patrons during the last two days.

Raw Water Pump House Failure Update

The raw water intake Pump House continued to operate through the night on generator power, and the sand filters are operating and actively replenishing the reservoir and distribution system.  The Electrical Contractor was successful in locating a replacement transformer this morning, and after an emergency Board approval, is en route to picking it up and will be on site to begin the repair.  The District is anticipating, barring any unforeseen issues, that the repair will be completed today, and the system will return to "normal" operation.

Please continue to minimize water use until the District provides notice that the system has been returned to normal operation (i.e. off generator power).
