Our water plant operators have been trying to identify a leak causing noticeable water loss in our system. They have found a spot near 561 Wagontire Drive and hope to make a live repair today. This will allow operators to fix the water leak without disconnecting water service for members. Please anticipate water could be turned off if needed.

Repairs are expected to begin on this morning, February 3rd, if utility lines can be marked.

We are also looking into a leak on the end of Wagontire Drive passed the water treatment plant. The road was recently named Deer Crossing Lane.

Elk Mountain Construction has been making lots of progress our water tank expansion project. The temporary tank is in place and the ground for the new tank is being prepared. A concrete foundation for the new tank is scheduled to begin pouring soon.

Pacific Power has surveyed the site for the upcoming power line relocation since the current lines will interfere with the taller tank and installation equipment. During the relocation, power will need to be shut off for approximately half a day for residents up the hill from the water plant. Pacific Power has indicated they will provide advance notice so everyone has time to prepare. We’re hopeful the weather cooperates in our region to allow Pacific Power’s crews to complete our project and avoid any interruptions for our contractor’s efforts.

We’ll continue to share updates as work progresses and appreciate everyone’s support as this important project moves forward.
