The IH Fire Department will be training at the hydrant across from the station this morning and again this evening. Please be advised this may cause water discoloration similar to what you would see during hydrant  flushing (see below) at homes in that area.

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

                                                                       2019 HYDRANT FLUSHING - UPDATED PLAN **

ZONE 3 Flushing Wednesday 6/5/2019

The District must flush out the main water lines once a year to remove any sediment.  This keeps our water clean and safe. Flushing may cause cloudy or slightly discolored water along with increased air bubbles while it is being performed.  If your water is cloudy, running the water at your largest faucet will clear it. Although the water is very safe to use, the District suggests that laundry should not be done on the days listed below as it might result in discoloration. 

**You may not have noticed discolored water during flushing in past years. We have reviewed and updated our flushing plan and the chance you will notice discoloration this year is increased.  

Our annual project plan will start in Zone 2 working from upper Picutis Rd. down towards Taos Rd., followed by Zone 1 working from upper Seminole Rd. towards Turkey Creek, and finishing in Zone 3 working from Upper Inca Rd. over to Shawnee Rd. Please add the applicable dates to your calendar. A Zone map can be found on our website. 

Wednesdays  5/15 (Zone 2), 5/22 (Zones 1 and 2), 5/29 (Zones 1 and 3), and 6/5 (Zone 3)

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.

Randy Evans retired on 3/31/2019 after 46 years with  IHWD.  The party was great! Thanks to everyone who took the time to wish Randy a Happy Retirement over the last few weeks.

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.   We are very interested in producing 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.
