9/17/2019

We are happy to report that all of our storage tanks are full which means that water usage can go back to normal. Thank you to our customers who helped by conserving water! 

9/11/2019 

Please continue to conserve. We are experiencing decreased well production at Turkey Creek and the tanks are not refilling as a result. We continue to evaluate if there is an additional leak in the lower end of the valley.  Keep an eye on your property and underneath your home, and please report any signs of unexplained water. 

9/3/2019 Tuesday

Please continue to conserve and watch for leaks on your property. The leak that was found last week did not account for the total water loss.  We appreciate your conservation efforts! 

8/30/2019 

A leak was found in Zone 1.  Please continue to conserve water while the tanks refill. We will update the conservation information Tuesday 9/3. 

8/26/2019 - Monday 

We may have a leak in the lower end of the valley - Zone 1 or Zone 2. We need all customers to conserve water until further notice.  Zone 1 and Zone 2 customers - please check your property inside and out for signs of unexplained water.  Thank you in advance for your conservation efforts! 

On Monday 8/19 the District needed to bring a second pump online to increase water distribution which stirred up sediment in the lines in the lower end of the valley. Operations opened 2 hydrants near the post office to flush the sediment. When water is discolored, it is still safe but not necessarily appealing. Customers should flush lines to clear the sediment, especially before washing light colored laundry. 

8/7/2019

The 9/19/19 Board meeting date has been changed to Thursday 9/12/2019 due to the 2019 SDA Annual Conference date conflict. 

7/16/2019 - If you notice a decrease in water pressure, a leak in your service could be the cause. Please let us know if you notice reduced pressure as soon as possible. 

6/5/2019

Please notify the District if extraordinary water use is expected. Examples could be: establishing new yard plantings or filling a pool.

Through Source Water Protection Grant Funding  Indian Hills Water District  continues to offer

4/19/2019

We have heard from several community members who are interested in participating in a IH Community Garden. 2019 will be a planning year for the garden. We are looking at locations and want to make sure it fits with the Master Plan for our facilities.  We will keep everyone posted as plans come together.

Recent Customer Question: Does having the new meter at our house mean you’d know if a leak was on our line?

The new Badger Beacon meter will detect if there is a leak after the meter. It cannot measure water in the line before the meter. ***If there is any water showing up anywhere inside or out, it is better to be on the safe side and have us take a look. ***

Nitrate Information:  The District's upper wells have higher raw water nitrate levels.   Our goal is to produce water with the lowest possible nitrate levels and we comply with all testing requirements. Over the last 2 weeks, the nitrate levels in our finished water range was 5.2 - 7.6. 

IHWD has two ways to mitigate the higher levels: 

1. Blend low nitrate water from the lower wells.

2. Process the water through the nitrate removal treatment system. 

A Board/Community task force researched new nitrate removal technologies for our District last year so that we can upgrade our treatment processes in the future and continue producing clean safe drinking water for our community.  

See the Water Quality tab for more information from the EPA on safe drinking water standards.
