Water Line Repair in Kuna, Idaho

Water Main and Service Line Repair in Kuna

Take a home in Memory Ranch on a March morning, weeks before the city's pressurized irrigation system comes on in mid to late April. The pressure at every tap in the house has dropped at once, the shower included, and when the owner lifts the lid on the meter box there is a steady hiss and water standing around the fitting. Nothing is running inside. There are two buried lines on this lot, potable and irrigation, and only one of them is pressurized in March, which narrows the question. The homeowner needs the leak located before anyone brings out a shovel.

Kuna homes sit on two water systems. The City of Kuna delivers drinking water from nine wells through about 106 miles of distribution pipe, and the same water department runs a municipal pressurized irrigation system fed from the New York Canal, which opened in 1909 and still shapes where the town's water goes. The irrigation season generally begins mid to late April, and when the city orders it, homes with odd numbered addresses water on odd days and even numbered addresses on even days. Knowing which line is pressurized on a given day is half of diagnosing a wet yard.

A water line repair or replacement in Kuna needs a city permit. Water line is its own line item on the City of Kuna plumbing permit application for an existing residence, the permit comes before the work, and the city inspects the new line afterward.
