Power Outages Tentatively Planned for July 11 and 12
Planned power outages at the buildings near the tunnel replacement project are tentatively scheduled for July 11 and 12. More details about the outages will be announced as they become available.
Additionally, employees may notice red/brown water in unused taps due to the recent water shutdown. If you are using a tap and the water appears discolored, flush the line using hot and cold water for three to five minutes to clear the pipes. Minerals and sand dislodging cause the red/brown water after the City's water main was turned off and back on again.
If you have questions about this project, please contact the project manager, Cole Elquist, at (208) 282-2472 or coleelquist@isu.edu.
