Due to high water use, Stage 3 Restrictions are now in place. Water production is nearing the maximum daily capacity of the Water Treatment Plant. Please decrease water usage as much as possible to ensure we have sufficient water in the storage tank for fire protection.
Our water source, Priest Lake, has lots of water; it’s our ability to treat sufficient water for fire protection and consumption that is an issue.
Leak detection is continuing. Please contact us if you are aware of any signs of leaks (wet areas, lush growth, or sound of water running), or have concerns about how water is being used.
