The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs have issued a boil water notice this evening (11/5/18) (2018.11.05 Boil Water Notice Agency System)

This includes all residences and businesses in.  Sunnyside, Upper Dry Creek, Miller Heights/Catholic Church, All of campus, Elliott Heights, Park Heights, Senior Housing area, Trailer Courts, Greeley Heights, Tenino Apartments, Tenino Valley & West Hills

This notice also applies to institutions that provide health services/prepare food: Health & Wellness Center (IHS), Early Childhood Education, High Lookee Lodge, CPS Group Home/Transitional Home, WS Market/ReUse It, Warm Springs Detention Facility, WSK8 Academy & Boys & Girls Club

Due to reduced water pressure/and or complete loss of water, food establishments and food processors must not operate until water pressure has returned.  An alternative is the use of water containers with spigots to maintain hand hygiene.  If anyone has any questions, please contact the Office of Environmental Health at (541) 460-2068.

Because the main water system lost pressure due to a main line break near the Shitike River crossing – there is an increased chance that untreated water and harmful microbes can enter the water.

YOU SHOULD BRING TAP WATER TO A ROLLING BOIL.  BOIL FOR ONE MINUTE AND COOL BEFORE USING.   Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and preparing food UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Repairs to the 14 inch water main break will begin in the morning (11/6/18) and should be completed within 24 hours.  It will take an additional 5-6 hours for the water system to recharge.

Again There is a Boil Water notice in effect due to the loss of pressure in the Agency Water System.   This notice is a safety precaution.  This applies to all residences and business in the Warm Springs Agency Area, Upper Dry Creek and Sunnyside.
