Water main break at McDougall and Pacific Avenues

Public Works crews are addressing a water main break at McDougall and Pacific Avenues that occurred around noon today. The break has been contained, but some customers are experiencing reduced water pressure as a result. Crews are on-site managing the water flow while excavation efforts to locate the break are underway. Repair work could extend into the evening. The affected pipe, a 12-inch diameter cast iron pipe, was installed in 1956, highlighting the aging infrastructure in the area.

The cause of the break remains undetermined at this time. Public Works is in close contact with impacted customers to provide updates and support. Residents can find more information about water main breaks at everettwa. gov/watermainbreaks.
