City water still safe

June 27, 2012
There are several rumors going around this morning that the City of Bonners Ferry  water system has been compromised by the flooding and that city water is unsafe to drink. That's all they are, rumors.

"That's absolutely untrue," said city administrator Stephen Boorman, "neither the water system nor the sewer plant have been affected, though we are having to pump some of the sewage."

According to Boorman, there is no indication that problems are imminent, even though the river is expected to continue rising slightly.

"We are not expecting any problems at all," he said. "I'd also like to assure everyone that we do have plenty of water in the Myrtle Creek drainage as well!"
