Southshore Drive came back on yesterday low pressure after being down for 2 repairs. District crews pressured up the system this morning.
IPS – Columbia Lane and Oregon Street Booster Stations are both back up and running, fully pressurized.
Relocation Canal / Division Street Pump Station is still under construction. There is still concrete to pour and some deliveries to form. After this work is complete, the concrete must cure before it can take the water. FORECAST: Middle to end of next week.
If you have any questions, please call the office at 541-922-3814.
At 4 pm Sat afternoon, July 28, there was a line break on private property off Knapp Street. We had to shut off the Division St pump station as efforts to isolate this line failed. The landowners and crew are working on the repair now. If the quick fix works, the line will be back up later tonight or in the morning. If we have to dig up the line, we’ll bring a crew in Sunday morning to get started on that repair.
UPDATE: 6:30 pm. Repair is complete and will need to sit overnight for glue to hold. Will be turned back on Sunday AM.
