We are pleased to announce that the precautionary boil water advisory has been formally lifted. Following comprehensive testing, NW Water Systems has provided confirmation to SLMC that the most recent water sample has yielded satisfactory results, thereby indicating that the water is now safe for consumption and daily use.
Beginning June 16th, localized water outages will occur throughout the system on Monday, June 16th, and Wednesday, June 18th. A boil water advisory will be in effect from June 16th until laboratory results demonstrate satisfactory water quality, which is anticipated by Friday, June 20th. It is essential that you prepare for a potential water shortage during this period. Although certain sections of the system may remain operational, the reliability of the system’s functions and shut-offs may be unpredictable. A comprehensive boil water advisory will be implemented, as our infrastructure is aging and deteriorating, which may result in rapidly changing conditions.
For updates, please check the RNS system, our website, or our Facebook page.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this essential safety procedure. Please be advised that turning the water supply on and off during this operation may result in the disturbance of sediment. Should you observe sediment in your water, we recommend running a faucet or hose bib outside your property until the water clears. If you must undertake this action and subsequently notice an additional water charge on your next monthly statement, kindly inform us. Please be assured that you will not incur any additional water fees.
If you have any questions, please call the office at 360-352-4787.
