Water main project to close 8th Street

The Coeur d'Alene Water Department will begin installing a new water main on 8th Street from Mullan Avenue to Pine Avenue on Monday. During the project, traffic and parking will be affected.

Phase 1 is expected to last until Friday, with 8th Street closed along the east side of City Hall. No on-street parking will be allowed. Access to the lower City Hall parking lot will be temporarily relocated to the south.

The project will eliminate several dead-end water mains, enhance water flow and provide an alternate water source to the Tubbs Hill booster station. The first phase encompasses Mullan Avenue to just south of Bancroft Avenue.

The second phase will run south from Bancroft Avenue to Pine Avenue, with road closure and parking restrictions limited to 8th street south of Bancroft Avenue and north of Young Avenue.
