Water

Two rivers, one plant

Weiser's water comes from both the Weiser and Snake rivers and is treated at the city's plant on Mortimers Island with coagulation, settling, filtration and chlorine. The 2025 report says lead wasn't detected at consumer taps and copper came in at 0.049 ppm. It doesn't give a hardness figure.

That report also lists one violation: total trihalomethanes, a chlorination by-product, reached 96.8 ppb against an 80 ppb limit. The city says it told customers at the time. Questions go to the water department at 208-414-1775.

Homes

Old homes, old service lines

The median Weiser home was built in 1971, and about 29% are older than 1940. Only about 13% date from 2000 or later, and about 13% are mobile homes. About 37% of households rent. Gas heats about 55% of homes and electricity about 38%.

The city's service line inventory includes lead lines, and it says some homes and pipes in town are over a century old, so lines without records are classed as unknown until confirmed. If your home was built before 1988, the city asks you to fill out its service line questionnaire. NOAA's Weiser station averages about 136 freezing nights a year.
