Transformer/Back-up Generator Work Update - Good News!

On Wednesday, work was completed faster than expected.  As a result, the only shutdown anticipated for Thursday will be about an hour beginning at 8:30 AM, to do the final connection to the generator at the Grouse Meadows Booster Station, and only Grouse Meadows Patrons will be affected during that time.  The Main Pump House Back-up Generator is fully connected, and will be tested tomorrow, along with the generator for the Grouse Meadows Booster Station, but will not significantly affect normal water production. 

Other than Grouse Meadows Patrons tomorrow morning, normal water use for the rest of the District can be resumed!  Thank you for your cooperation today!

Power Shutdown Main Pump House Wednesday and Thursday, 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM, May 15 and May 16

To all KCWD#1 Patrons:

To enable Avista and our contractors to install new transformers and connect the back-up generators to the automatic switch gear at the Main Pump House and the Grouse Meadows Booster Pump, the power to the Main Pump House will be shut down between 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM on both Wednesday and Thursday, May 15th and 16th.

The entire District will be operating off of the reservoir during these hours, so please minimize water use to bare essentials during the power shut down.  

DO NOT SCHEDULE ANY LANDSCAPE WATERING BETWEEN 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM ON BOTH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY!

Please let your neighbors know as not all Patrons subscribe to the blog or the automatic call messaging.

Thank you!
