Catalog - Kalispell Parks and Recreation The City of Kalispell adheres to the highest of Internet standards, protecting its users' privacy, observing and championing Net etiquette, linking externally without endorsements, and aiming for factual information throughout. To that end, here's a look at what we expect from users of our site and....

August 13-24th, the City will be conducting water well flow tests in the area near Cottonwood Park. Cottonwood Park is in the Cottonwood and Blue Herron Subdivisions. The purpose of the flow tests is to measure a nearby well’s capacity and to ensure it meets safety and performance standards.

This well is not connected to the city water system and will not affect the City’s water supply or pressure. Therefore, there will be no interruptions to residents’ water service during this time.

During the testing, water will be discharged into the stormwater system that conveys through Cottonwood Park. As a result, standing water may be present throughout the park. Mitigation efforts to channelize the water through park property will be in place.

The City of Kalispell would like to thank you for your understanding while we perform these operations in your area. If you should have any questions, please call the Public Works office at (406)758-7720.

Thank you in advance for your patience.
