Rathdrum Prairie Wastewater Master Plan Released

The Cities of Hayden, Post Falls and Rathdrum along with Kootenai County developed a long-term master plan to guide wastewater service for the Rathdrum Prairie. “The plan is intended to accommodate future growth by defining long-term service areas, construction phasing, operational and maintenance concerns.” A major part of the plan foresees using reclaimed (treated) water on parks, schools, crops, golf courses and gas-fired turbine plants. Costs over the next 50 years could reach a half billion dollars depending on population growth and treatment standards.
