April 19, 2024 - Additional Leak Information

On April 19, 2024, the City notified residents in the 95th Court SE area of an unexpected leaking City water meter service line, located east of SPU’s water main leak area. While much smaller in scale than the SPU water main leak two weeks ago , this leak must be repaired. We have mobilized a crew to complete the repair – they are on site today to complete this work. The City’s ongoing leak detection testing in the area indicates this water meter service line leak developed this week. The City has consulted with its geotechnical engineer, who has advised that the needed repairs will not compromise adjacent soil or slope stability.

Three water meter service lines immediately adjacent to the leaking meter will also have their water meter service lines replaced today, as they are of a similar age and configuration. Affected residents have already received door tag notices and are being contacted directly by City staff who will stay in close contact with them throughout the day as the repairs are made.

The City's Customer Service Team will be the dedicated point of contact during the work. They can be contacted by email or phone (206-275-7600) during operating hours.
