Hayden Lake City Water Ruled Safe
It’s safe to drink the water again in the city of Hayden Lake.
A water advisory for water customers of Hayden Lake and Avondale Irrigation District was lifted Friday after two consecutive water samples came up clean.
A test on Oct. 30 had shown total coliform in the water. While total coliform is harmless, it is an indication that other bacteria could be in the water supply.
The advisory, issued last week, recommended that customers boil the water for one minute as a precaution before drinking it.
The Avondale Irrigation District, which sells water to Hayden Lake, purified the system with a disinfectant that killed the bacteria.
