(City of Pocatello Press Release, March 6, 2026)
Beginning Monday, March 9, 2026, the City of Pocatello Water Department will begin replacing water lines within the neighborhood of Mar Vista Dr and Westello Boulevard. The project will be completed in multiple phases, with work starting on Mar Vista Drive, then continuing onto Westello Boulevard as work progresses.
Construction will require temporary street closures and parking restrictions between 6:30 a.m. and approximately 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Every effort will be made to maintain local access to homes and properties during construction. Residents are asked to park their vehicles away from the construction area during working hours. Access to all properties will be restored at the end of each workday.
The project may cause short-term disruptions to water service. Residents in and around the construction zone are encouraged to keep a supply of drinking water available during this time. Parents and guardians are also asked to remind children about potential safety hazards and to stay a safe distance from the construction area.
The project is expected to take approximately eight weeks to complete, though the schedule may change due to unforeseen conditions.
Residents with questions about this or other Water Department projects may contact the department at 208-234-6182. Additional information is available at pocatello.gov/water.
