WATER OUTAGE TO OCCUR AT 9 PM ON OCTOBER 5 AND LAST UNTIL 4 AM ON OCTOBER 6

Dear Neighbor,

Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) will be working on an upgrade of the drinking water system.

SPU crews will install three new valves on a water main along California Ave SW.

This work will require a temporary water shutdown for about 650 customers in the area.

You are receiving this notice because the water at your home or property will be off during the shutdown.

The shutdown will start at 9 pm on Thursday, October 5 and last until 4 am on Friday, October 6.

If you think you’ll need to use water during this overnight water shutdown, here are some ways you can prepare for the water outage:

Before the water outage:

• Fill pots on the stove with water for cooking.

• Fill a couple of buckets with water for washing.

• Fill potable water containers for drinking.

• Fill bathtubs with water and use buckets to flush toilets. A toilet will flush when approximately a gallon of water is dumped into the bowl.

During the water outage:

Try not to operate the water faucets. This will prevent air from entering your plumbing.

Discolored Water After an Outage

Water outages can sometimes disturb the direction or flow of water in the City's drinking water system. When this happens, customers in or near the outage area may experience temporary discolored water.

Discolored water comes from internal pipe rust and sediment getting stirred up when the water is turned on after an outage. The water should clear on its own. If the water remains discolored, please contact SPU's Operations Response Center at (206) 386-1800.
