ISLAND PARK — The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is issuing a boil water advisory for Shotgun North and Shotgun Kickapoo in Island Park, Idaho.
DEQ was alerted on May 1, 2023, that there was a loss of water or pressure at both the Shotgun North and Shotgun Kickapoo water systems. On May 4, 2023, DEQ became aware that not all persons served received proper notification of the boil advisory in place. Currently, there are no recent sample results to indicate if there is water contamination in the systems. Pressure has not been fully restored throughout the distribution, and disinfection has not occurred. DEQ is continuing to work with Island Park Water Company to resolve the situation and will be at the site on May 8 and May 9 to obtain pressure readings and water quality samples.
Until further notice from DEQ, residents and businesses connected to the Shotgun North and Shotgun Kickapoo water systems are advised to boil their water for a minimum of one minute before consuming.
