Water Service Update!!!
We would like to thank residents for their patience and
apologize for the recent water service interruptions.
At this time, there should be no further interruptions to
your water service.
The hydrant flushing process identified an issue within the
water treatment plant's electrical system that caused a malfunction when the
secondary pump was called upon to maintain water pressure. While we regret the
inconvenience, discovering this issue during routine operations is a positive
outcome.
Identifying and addressing the problem now helps ensure our
water system is reliable when it is needed most—particularly in the event of a
fire or other emergency where maintaining water pressure is critical.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep our
water system safe, reliable, and ready to serve our community.
A Win-Win-Win for Grand Coulee!
You may have noticed crews using our hydrants to fill water trucks over the past little while. We wanted to share why this is happening—and why it's a great outcome for our community.
The water is being used by contractors to assist with road work on Township Road 2212. Not only are they paying the Town for the water they use, but by coordinating truck filling with our scheduled hydrant flushing, we're able to accomplish two important tasks at the same time.
Here's why it's a win for everyone:
Hydrant flushing is completed efficiently as part of our regular water system maintenance.
The Town receives revenue from the water being used by the contractor.
Residents benefit directly, as the water is helping improve and maintain a road that many of our residents travel regularly.
It's always rewarding when we can find practical solutions that maximize value for our community. The trucks take about 30 minutes to fill, so service interruptions should not last longer than that. We appreciate your patience.
