operates a public water system that provides water service to businesses,

primarily the TriPro Forest Products compound and the Konkolville Motel

complex, and all residents located within the Konkolville Addition and

adjacent areas currently being serviced by the Konkolville water system

near the City of Orofino, Idaho. The water system is listed as Public Water

System #ID2180019 by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. The

system was originally owned and operated by the Konkolville Lumber Company

Inc., and was conveyed to the Konkolville Water Company by quit claim deed

in March of 2007. Over the past several years, the water system was

surveyed by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and was found to

concerned about the adequacy of the existing system to meet the future

needs of the community.

service to the community for the next twenty years. The Orofino/Whiskey

Creek Water and Sewer District does not have a water distribution system.
