PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Municipal Utility Systems
Konkolville Water System Facilities Plan and Environmental Information
Document- Konkolville, Idaho. The Konkolville Water Company owns and
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
have several "significant deficiencies". Konkolville Water Company became
concerned about the adequacy of the existing system to meet the future
needs of the community.
Orofino/Whiskey Creek Water and Sewer District Water System Facilities Plan
and Environmental Information Document- Clearwater County, Idaho.
Orofino/Whiskey Creek Water and Sewer District includes development along
Whiskey Creek, Deer Creek, and Orofino Creek. The Konkolville Water Company
is located within the Orofino/Whiskey Creek Water and Sewer District, which
was organized in 1975. The Water System Study provided information needed
for planning future water system improvements to assure adequate water
service to the community for the next twenty years. The Orofino/Whiskey
Creek Water and Sewer District does not have a water distribution system.
Residents living outside the Konkolville Water Company service area rely on
residential wells and springs. There are approximately 32 residential wells
within the Orofino/Whiskey Creek Water and Sewer District. Many of the
wells do not produce sufficient volume to meet the needs of the residences.
