MOYIE SPRINGS — The Department of Environmental Quality approved the city of Moyie Springs’ emergency water main replacement project Wednesday, June 26.
On June 12, the city of Moyie Springs received a temporary easement with Idaho Forestry Group at the Moyie mill property through which the 1,000-foot water main will pass.
The city is rerouting its main waterline after the waterline failed on March 24, causing a landslide down a cliff above the Kootenai River. After a suggestion from staff, the city council approved an alternative route to access the city’s wells, by way of the IFG property.
