UTILITY WORK: In case you notice discolored water near The Junction today …

We have a Seattle Public Utilities update on the repairs happening on 46th SW near Hudson, southwest of The Junction:

Part of this repair necessitates shutting off water for a small number of residents on 46th Ave. SW. The work will be finished tomorrow and those who are affected by the water outage have been notified. While we do not anticipate any impacts to other residents’ water, any time the water main is disturbed there is the chance of discolored water. If residents experience discolored water they should run their taps for two minutes before drinking. This water is perfectly safe to drink, however.

This is work related to repairs we first mentioned last month, but not related to The Big Flush (here’s our recent update on that, in case you missed it).

    So glad to see this post! My water turned a bit beige last night. I’m off 55th and Dakota. Do you have any info that this far from that work would have been affected? Or does anyone reading this live near me and have experienced brownish water, too? Misery loves company!

      I forgot to include the reminder: Do call 206-386-1800 any time you get brown water. There’s always the chance it’s NOT something expected – you might be the first to have noticed a leak or break. This number should get you an actual live person. – TR

    Noticed brown water while running a bath…. Ran the tap for more than 2-min and still discolor in the water. Notified SPU and still await a response.
