All, 

Since the last update on 6‐29‐17 InfraSource has installed the remaining 496 feet of pipe.  The majority of project is now 
complete with a total of 17,924 feet of pipe installed.  Attached is a map showing the crew’s progress as well as some 
pictures of the crew cleaning the new pipe. 

InfraSource’s work is nearing completion.  This week the crew is focusing on cleaning out the new pipe and completing 
final restoration/clean‐up and then will mobilize off of the jobsite. Final paving along Government Way was completed 
on July 7th.   Final paving along Hanley Ave is scheduled to occur July 25th and 26th.   Avista crews still have some work to 
do to bring the new pipe into service and tie it into the existing gas system.  Avista’s work is anticipated to be completed 
in the next few weeks. 

I will send out a final update after the pipe has been placed into service.  Please feel free to pass along this email to 
others I may have missed.

I am emailing you because I thought you would have interest in a gas pipeline project that is getting ready to start in the 
Coeur d’Alene, ID.  This project consists of installing 17,200 feet of 6” gas distribution pipe along Prairie Ave,

I have attached a map to help illustrate where this project is located.

Avista has hired InfraSource http://www.infrasourceus.com/ to construct this project.  InfraSource is scheduled to begin 
work on Monday, April 17th.  The project is anticipated to be completed in September 2017.  Avista crews will work in 
conjunction with InfraSource, helping with pipe tie‐ins and the installation of two regulator stations. 

I will continue to send out biweekly updates as this project commences, along with photos and maps showing the crew’s 
progress.

Subject:Post Falls 6" Gas Reinforcement Project Update 4-20-18
Attachments:Progress Map 4-20-18.pdf; Pipe 4-20-18.pdf
All, 

I’m writing because I thought you would have interest in a natural gas reinforcement project that is getting ready to 
start in Post Falls, ID.  The project consists of installing 14,400 feet of 6” gas distribution pipe along Idaho Rd, 21st Ave, 
and Spokane St.  The purpose of this project is to reinforce the gas distribution system in the Post Falls area. 

I have attached a map to help illustrate the project. 

Avista has hired InfraSource to construct this pipeline.  InfraSource is scheduled to begin work on Monday, April 23rd and 
anticipates completing the project in July.  The crew will start with installing a 10” steel casing underneath the Union 
Pacific Railroad tracks near Prairie Ave.  The crew will then focus on installing the gas line underneath Prairie Ave and 
Poleline Ave using horizontal directional drilling.   

I will continue to send out weekly updates as this project commences, along with photos and maps showing the crew’s 
progress.   

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you wish to be removed from this email distribution.  Please feel free 
to pass along this email to others I may have missed.

Since the last update on 6‐15‐18 InfraSource has completed the tie‐in at Prairie Ave and Idaho Rd in‐between the two 
bore pipes (in front of the Idaho Rd substation).  Permanent paving along Idaho Rd, 21st Ave, and Spokane St has been 
completed.  Pressure testing of the new pipeline will occur today.  After the pressure test the crew will perform final 
clean up and will begin to mobilize their equipment and materials off site.  Avista crews have some tie‐in work to 
complete in order to connect the new gas line to the existing system and to place it into service. 

I want to give special thanks to InfraSource for completing this project safely and for doing a great job coordinating the 
work with the community.  I also want to thank the staff at the City of Post Falls, Post Falls Highway District, East Green 
Acres Irrigation District, and Union Pacific Railroad for their help with this project.    

Attached is a map showing the crew’s progress over the last week as well as pictures of the crew working. 

This will be my final project update.  Thank you to all who helped Avista and InfraSource complete this project.
