The project will focus on an area of the Kings Beach community that is currently served by undersized backyard watermains dating to Kings Beach’s earliest development. The new watermains will enhance the neighborhood’s hydrant coverage and will improve available fire-flow from less than 200 gallons-per-minute to greater than 2,500 gallons-per-minute after project completion.

This project includes approximately 2,600 feet of new watermain, 61 residential water services, and five new fire hydrants.

Construction on Trout and Brook Avenues is scheduled to begin on Monday, July 7 and continue through October 2025.

Estimated Cost: $1,715,680

Estimated Complete Date: October 2025

PROPERTY OWNER SERVICE RELOCATIONS

Detailed information for property owners is available via this link – Kings Beach Waterline Service Relocations

  • Property owners currently served by an old watermain in a backyard easement will be required to relocate their water service and connect to the new watermain.
  • The District will install a new point of connection (meter box and customer shut-off valve) at the property line facing the street; however, the construction of the new water service from the building to the new point of connection is the responsibility of the property owner, as outlined in NTPUD Ordinance #361.

The Deadline for impacted properties on Trout, Brook, Salmon, Chipmunk, and Rainbow Avenues is September 1, 2027.

The map also highlights specific roads where water main work has been completed or is planned.
