Pipe Replacement
Pipe Replacement
LOID has an aggressive pipe replacement program. In 2009, our crews replaced 16,720 feet of pipe. LOID replaces pipe for several reasons, including repair, avoid main breaks, replace old corroded pipe, alleviate water pressure issues, and to improve overall water delivery.
Each project is different due to conditions at the project site. If our crews are working in your neighborhood, you should receive notice describing the work being done. If you have any additional questions or concerns please contact the office at (208) 746-8235. We know construction usually means inconvenience and our crew attempts to complete projects as quickly as possible.
If your street had to be cut to access pipes, LOID attempts to fill the street in with gravel and will patch the street. Large jobs the paving is scheduled after the entire job is complete or will combine projects through out the District into one paving job.
