Rathdrum public works staff completed an emergency repair late Monday night after a private contractor damaged the city’s main sewer force main earlier in the day. 

TDS Telecom accidentally struck and damaged the main while performing directional boring work, according to the city. The 8-inch line, along with an adjacent 16-inch line, carries all of Rathdrum’s wastewater to the treatment plant in Post Falls.
