(City of Pocatello Press Release, May 21, 2026)
Starting Tuesday, May 26, 2026, the City of Pocatello Water Department will begin replacing the water main line on East Putnam Street from South 1st Avenue to South 5th Avenue.
Construction will require temporary street closures and parking restrictions from 6:30 a.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Every effort will be made to provide local access to properties during construction. Residents are asked to park vehicles away from the work zone during construction 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 area are encouraged to keep a supply of drinking water available.
Parents and guardians are asked to remind children to stay a safe distance from the construction zone due to safety hazards.
Construction is expected to take approximately four weeks to complete; however, the schedule may change due to unforeseen conditions.
Residents with questions about this or other Water Department projects can contact the department at 208-234-6182. For additional information, visit pocatello.gov/water.
