WATER ALERT: Hydrant testing Tuesday night

From Seattle Public Utilities:

Seattle Public Utilities crews will conduct routine hydrant flow testing near 3084 SW Avalon Way starting at 11:30 pm on Tuesday, September 24, and lasting until 5:30 am on Wednesday, September 25. During and after testing, some customers in the area may experience temporary discolored water. If this happens, the water should clear on its own- or try running the cold tap for a few minutes. If the problem persists, contact SPU’s 24/7 Operations Response Center at 206-386-1800.

That’s the number to use any time you get unexplained brown water, as we’ve reported many times.

    How do they do paving and hydrant testing at the same time? Are the two departments communicating at all?

      The hydrant discharge flow can be directed to the nearest sewer/storm drain via hose or piping.

Sorry, comment time is over.
