Idaho Falls, ID – The City of Idaho Falls Water Division will be repairing a leaking water service in the 900 block of Lincoln Road near its intersection with Bennett Avenue beginning at 6:30 AM on Wednesday, July 18.

No water service interruptions are anticipated at this time.  If required, impacted businesses in the area will be notified prior to any disruption in service.
