Septic Systems 101 webinar is scheduled for 7/17/2019. There's still time to get registered.

In this free training, you'll learn about septic system management as part of a larger strategy to protect the water in your private well. We will provide answers to common questions, such as: 

What is safe to flush down my drains?

Do I need to put additives in my septic tank?

How do I prolong the life of my system?

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.
