The Warm Springs Agency Water Distribution System is on emergency conservation notice until further notice.   That means limiting water use as much as you can.  Don’t leave water running when doing dishes or brushing teeth, skipping or shortening showers and making sure outside water is completely turned off.   The Wolfe Point and Sunnyside water reservoir tanks will be out of water today and delivery of drinking water to those residences has begun.

Upper Dry Creek, Miller Heights, Campus Area, the Highway 26 corridor, West Hills, Tenino Valley, Tenino Apartments, Trailer Court, Elliot Heights, High Lookee, Greeley Heights, and the Kah-Nee-Ta Hamlets should prepare for a water outage now by obtaining drinking water and water to use for flushing toilets.

Emergency Management has portable toilets on site and drinking water available at the old Elementary School.  They are bringing in showers and additional resources as quickly as possible.

A fire at the Water Treatment facility on Friday has left it without power.  An onsite assessment by the power company, an electrician, and program staff will be done tomorrow and then they will have a better idea of when the plant can get up and running again.  Until that time – the Agency Water System is drawing from reservoir tanks.

Warm Springs WIC is now scheduling all monthly appointments in advance and sending out letters to clients with their appointment date and time. Appointments can be rescheduled by calling the WIC office. Same-day appointments can be requested as well.
