31825 Emergency water transmission line 3 repair 1030 am update

The Everett Public Works department has announced that water service has been successfully restored to customers affected by the repair of transmission line 3. Residents experiencing any sediment or discoloration in their water supply are urged to run their taps until the water runs clear, with a recommendation to use a bathtub for this purpose. This flushing process is particularly important for homes that had been without service, as it helps eliminate turbidity and air from the lines. While the water may initially appear discolored, officials assure residents that it is safe for consumption after proper flushing. Should the discoloration persist for more than 30 minutes, residents are encouraged to reach out to the Public Works department at 425-257-8821 for further assistance.

This update underscores the city's proactive approach to maintaining water quality and ensuring the health and safety of its residents. Such communication is vital during service interruptions, as it keeps the community informed and reassured. The city appreciates the patience shown by residents during this critical repair process.
