Update: Emergency Water Situation 1/16/23 6:15 pm

The broken pipe from the Montevina Pipeline has been repaired. Water is being transferred into the redwood clearwell tank. Once it reaches the 11’ level, the pump will start sending water to the upper storage tanks. Depending on how full the storage tanks get overnight, we can probably open tanks back up tomorrow in early afternoon.

We are very close. Please keep up with water conservation efforts when the tanks are opened, so everyone has a chance to do a few things to get back on track with your families. If everyone starts doing laundry right away, we will be in trouble again.

The SWRCB, Division of Drinking Water advises residents of Chemeketa Park to only use boiled tap or bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes as a safety precaution. Cypress Water has provided CPMWC with Boil Water Notices (English and Spanish) from the State of California. There is also a Fact Sheet with information on What to Do During a Boil Water Advisory. These notices will be posted on the Chemeketa Park website at www.chemeketapark.org Please take a look and follow the instructions to have a safe re-entry into our water system. These instructions will be in effect for 72-96 hours.

Thank you for your patience. Water is a resource we sometimes take for granted. But it’s hard to be without it. Gives thought to making sure we keep this precious resource clean and plentiful. We will send the “ALL IS GOOD” message hopefully at some point tomorrow.

Be well…
