UPDATE 9/19/2022

The initial work of Phase 2 (connecting the new well to the existing system) is anticipated to take place in early to middle of October.  The next phase of work will include installation of new watermain from the new well to the existing watermain infrastructure.  The new well will not be integrated or operational until the control panels and new generator are installed and programmed in March/April of 2023.  This scope of work should NOT have any impact to the existing system operations or access to the community.  The delay in project completion is due to supply chain issues in obtaining the electrical controls and generator.  

Please contact the District if you have any questions or concerns regarding this project.

UPDATE 07/19/2022 

The development and drilling of the well has been completed.  Beginning Wednesday July 20th the well driller will be performing a 24 hour flow test on the well.  This will not result in any water restrictions but residents may notice noise from the engine being used for the pumping and flow of water from the well site.

Phase 2 of connecting the new well to the distribution system will begin with the pipe installation in late July or early August.  Unfortunately the installation of the controls and generator will not take place until closer to March 2023 due to supply chain issues.

Please contact the District if you have any questions or concerns regarding this project.

Buttes Emergency Well Replacement Project Letter

Country Emergency Shutdown today 9/21/22

Valley Water District has an Emergency Watermain repair in the area of 168th Ave E and 226th St Ct E and has to shut off water for several customers in the Country System starting at 1:15pm today.  The crew is on site working to repair the water main and the water is expected to be restored between 5-7 pm today.  Thank you for your patience.

Updated 4:15pm:  Service has been restored, however water is discolored due to the main break.  Please limit use if possible.  We will be flushing all night to restore water quality.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Update at 4:15pm: Repair is completed

The most common source of household water leaks is the toilet

..and since the toilet is also the largest user of household water, you will save water and money by repairing a leaking toilet as soon as possible.

Follow these easy steps to test your toilet today.

1. Carefully lift the lid on the toilet tank (behind the toilet bowl) and place a few drops of food coloring in the water.
2. Do not flush the toilet for at least 15 minutes.
3. If any of the dye shows up in the bowl before flushing, you likely have a bad flapper and you are losing a significant amount of water between flushes.

To learn about the care and repair of toilets, check into an online class at Toiletology 101. Be amazed at how easy and expensive this do-it-yourself project really is.
