We encountered unexpected problems with the water main today between 460 N. Oak Harbor Street and Whidbey Ave. While installing new storm drain pipe it was found that there were old fittings on the Oak Harbor Street water main that compromised the strength of the main and started to leak. Consequently we were forced to shut down part of the main without prior notice to our customers. We apologize for this inconvenience and recognize that the impacts to people are significant. City Water Department staff is working with the Contractor to restore water service at this time; water should be restored by 5:00 pm.
Asphalt demolition (grinding) over the entire project should be completed by the end of the day today. Sidewalk demolition on the east side of the street and storm drain installation will continue tomorrow.
