Crews are still working to repair the water intake line and the Borley leak, but still do not have an ETR (Estimated Time of Restoration) to report. You may be seeing that you have some water pressure. This is due to the continuous potable water trucks that are pumping water into the Clear Well in the effort to keep the mains pressurized and refilling the reservoir.
Please continue to minimize/stop all water use until notified so that we can keep the system pressurized.
Note: Because we have older homes in the District (built before 1988) that may have lead content in their service lines and plumbing, DEQ has advised that when the water system is fully back online, the water from your faucets should not be used for human consumption, even after boiling, until coliform testing (bacterial contamination test) has confirmed that the water is safe. Lead is not removed by boiling the water, and will concentrate as water evaporates during the boiling process. Please refer to the Lead Education Notice that was enclosed in your most recent bill for more details regarding lead.
Please check the blog for more updates.
