NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
The City of Kooskia is once again experiencing unacceptable vandalism in the City Park restrooms. Recent incidents have included garbage and trash scattered throughout the facilities and placed in the toilets, f***s smeared on the floors and walls, and toilets intentionally clogged with wipes. This behavior is not only costly to clean and repair, but it also affects the cleanliness, safety, and availability of these facilities for everyone who uses them.
If this vandalism continues, the City may be forced to re-evaluate restroom operating hours, which could result in partial closures or other restrictions.
If you have any information regarding those responsible for this ongoing damage, please contact law enforcement at 208-983-1100, Ext. 0.
The City appreciates the community's understanding and cooperation as we work to keep our public facilities clean, safe, and accessible for residents and visitors alike.

Flushing water lines - Next week starting April 20, 2026, the City Public Works Dept. may be flushing hydrants. They will be doing this to clean the water system. While they are doing this, some residents may once again experience cloudy or dirty water. This is normal when large volumes of water are being pulled through the system and it loosens mineral scaling. If you experience any of these, your best course of action is to open an outside faucet or your bathtub faucet and flush the water for 5 – 10 minutes or until the water runs clear. We thank you for your patience and understanding. For water related questions please contact Public Works Superintendent Justin Lycan at 208-816-8198, 208-935-5947 or call city hall at 208-926-4684.
