June 17, 2026 -- The City once again conducted more work on well #3 and it may have that broke loose some mineral scaling which can cause discoloration in the water. If you experience cloudy water, please flush your line using a non-filtered faucet, such as a bathtub until it runs clear.
The cloudy water is not harmful, just aesthetically unpleasant. As a precaution the water is also being chlorinated until the issue resolves.
For any specific water related questions please contact Public Works Superintendent Justin Lycan at 208-816-8198.
