BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — The city of Lewiston experienced flooding last week due to a reservoir failure.
Since then citizens have been dealing with the aftermath, from water damage to boil water orders. The city released an update on Monday stating that portions of the city have been removed from the boil order, while others remain as crews work to shift their water source to another reservoir within the system.
Damage assessments are still underway in Lewiston, as crews work to return homes to normal water usage without taxing the remainder of the water system. Staff are looking into how the City's water system will respond when the reservoir is taken off line, as the flow of the water will be significantly modified from how it has traditionally operated, according to the cities release.
Lewiston has provided some helpful resources for those affected, including clean drinking water which is still available at the Lewiston Community Center. This map shows the highlighted areas of the community that remain on the boil order. For those still on the boil order you can click here for a list of do's and don'ts to observe for your safety.
