KOOTENAI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT NO. 1

By:  Loretta Zabka, Board Secretary

The district board meeting is Wednesday October 25, 2023 at 6:00 P.M. located at 6095 Mullan Trail Rd.  The agenda can be viewed under the pages tab for agendas.

The intersection at Goldrush Rd. and Captain John Mullan will be closed to all through traffic from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Monday, October 23, 2023, for construction work to replace more of the water main on Goldrush Rd.  Please use alternate routes.  Thank you for your cooperation.

KCWD#1 crew will need to repair a leak on the old main on Goldrush this morning as it is affecting the construction of the new main.  Patrons on Goldrush Rd. and Wagon Wheel Rd. will experience water service interruptions with ETR (Estimated Time of Restoration) of 11:00 AM.  The District advises those Patrons who have had their water service interrupted, to open one inside tap slowly to vent any air that may have gotten into their plumbing, and then flush their lines until running water is clear during first use after water service is restored.

Construction crews have hit an unmarked two inch line on Goldrush Rd.  Water service will be interrupted on Goldrush with an ETR (Estimated Time of Restoration) of 3:00 PM this afternoon when repairs can be completed.   As always, we advise those Patrons who have had their water service interrupted, to open one inside tap slowly to vent any air that may have gotten into their plumbing, and then flush their lines until running water is clear during first use after water service is restored.

Patrons on Buckboard, Cody, and Goldrush will experience water service interruption from 9:30-10:30 AM while Project Crew ties Goldrush line into new mains.   As always, we advise those Patrons who have had their water service interrupted to open one inside tap slowly to vent any air that may have gotten into their plumbing, and then flush their lines until running water is clear during first use.

There will be a planned water service interruption for Patrons on Bonanza and Dillon Roads, from 9:00 AM until an ETR (Estimated Time of Restoration) of 3:00 PM, Friday October 13, 2023.  The shut down of these old mains are to enable Big Sky Construction to transfer those affected District Patrons to the new water mains that were installed over the last few weeks as part of the Phase 1 Capital Improvements Project. Thank you for your patience.

The Board of Directors meeting is Wednesday September 27, 2023 at 6:00 P.M. located at 6095 Mullan Trail Rd.  Agenda posted under agenda pages.

Big Sky Corporation will be moving equipment and materials into the Bonanza area beginning Monday, September 11, 2023.  The current plan is to begin digging mid-week starting with main replacement on Silver St.

Tuesday, September 5th, the 60 HP raw water intake pump will be pulled to be transported to a service provider for repairs.  The shop will be able to turn this repair around quickly, and the District is anticipating that the pump will be re-installed and back online in 48 hours, or less.  In the meantime, the system will be running on the the secondary 40 HP pump.  Fortunately, with the weather turning colder and the recent rain, the 40 HP pump should be able to keep up with the current demand.

Thursday, September 7th, is the re-scheduled date for the Raw Water Well cleaning that was postponed due to the service provider's obligation to work with fire fighters during the recent wild fires in the area. The District will put into place measures to ensure that the system is able to meet demands while the raw water intake is taken off line during the cleaning and re-start process. 

ATTENTION:  Patrons on Kitty, Bonanza, and Dillon will experience temporary water service interruption while repair is made.  Estimated Time of Restoration is 5:00 P.M.

Due to Service Provider assisting Emergency Fire Fighting crews in the Kootenai County and Eastern Washington area, the Raw Water Well Cleaning will be rescheduled when the Service Provider can be available.

The board of directors meeting is Wednesday August 23, 2023 at 6:00 P.M. located at 6095 Mullan Trail Rd.  The agenda can be viewed in pages tab under agendas.
