7:00am Friday Sewer Line UPDATE: Early this morning, our dedicated staff along with the crews of the contractor were able to locate and repair the broken section of sewer line. Rexburg Rapids and the splash pad at Porter Park will resume operations today with their normal hours. We thank everyone involved for their hard work and we thank the community for their patience and assistance. We hope you have a great weekend!
5:10pm Sewer Line UPDATE: Crews are still actively working on the sewer line break; they are currently attempting to reach the point of the line break, but water flow is working against them. At this time, we are asking residents to stop any activities that allow water to access the drain. This includes indoor and outdoor water use that would go to the drain. Once the crews are able to reach the break, we hope to know more information. We appreciate everyone's patience and assistance as our teams work on necessary repairs.
Out of an abundance of caution, Rexburg Rapids and the splash pad at Porter Park will be closed for the remainder of the day.
ATTENTION! Emergency Information... A major City sewer line was hit and damaged by the contractor working on the US 20 interchange project. ***Please limit indoor water use (toilets, sinks, laundry, showers, car washes, etc.) until further notice in all parts of the City while the contractor and City work to address the situation. Crews are actively on the scene to address the situation. We don't have a timeline at this moment, but we will keep you posted as we learn more.
***Water has not been contaminated, crews are working to restrict the flow of water.

We Need Your Feedback!
As a city, we always say that Rexburg is unique in that our "sense of place" lies in the people who call it home. That is why we call Rexburg "America's Family Community." And while we feel that this community does a lot to come together on its own, we want to continue to build upon that aspect of our well-being.
So what does that mean to you? What defines a community? How do you think the City can help bring residents together? Share your thoughts with us as we work to continue to build the essence of Rexburg: You, our community.
Send us your thoughts on Engage Rexburg under the "Community Building" project.
