Welcome to the Snake River Water District

For nearly 40 years, the Snake River Water District has worked to reliably provide clean, quality drinking water and fire protection to the Keystone valley 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The District manages, operates, and maintains 8 wells, 2 water treatment plants, 4 storage tanks, 1 pump station, and approximately 30 miles of distribution pipe that provide drinking water and fire protection to thousands of residents, businesses, and visitors each year.


SRWD Responds to EPA PFAS Monitoring Data

As the EPA’s report indicates, PFAS have been detected in the Snake River Water District’s water supply. It is important to understand there is not an immediate public health risk related to drinking tap water from Snake River Water District. These chemicals are not currently regulated by the EPA, but some are included in proposed regulations along with the potential for others in the future. Snake River Water District is not in a unique position, as unfortunately PFAS are being found in water supplies across the country as sampling efforts continue. In response to the data, we are taking action by completing additional testing to confirm the results, evaluating removal methods, and monitoring regulatory developments as the EPA continues to gather data about PFAS.

Future of Snake River Water District

Population growth, changing regulations, and aging infrastructure are continual challenges for providing drinking water to our region.  The District is committed to being proactive to address these issues and provide reliable, uninterrupted service to our customers.

The District recently completed a Water System Master Plan to provide guidance and prioritization of short term and long term projects to meet challenges over the next ten years. As a follow up, the District completed financial analysis to chart a course on funding options for improvements.
