Gozzer Ranch Drinking Water System Improvements
Construction of the drinking water infrastructure improvement project, driven by updated 2015 International Fire Code fire flow capacity requirements within the Gozzer service area, is underway. As fire flow is provided to customers through the potable water system supplied by Lake Coeur d’Alene, potable surface water treatment components will be upgraded to supply additional capacity. The existing slow sand filtration treatment system will be upsized to a pre-adsorption clarifier direct filtration treatment system. The pumping capacity of treated water to the service area will be upsized to meet increased fire flow requirements. Current engineering estimates for the completion of these required improvements is $6.6 million. These improvements are financed through a revenue bond approved by District electorate on November 3, 2020 and Gozzer Ranch rates and charges.
The Gozzer water treatment project is scheduled for completion in late spring 2024.
