Today’s repair on Homestead Drive did not drop pressure in the water system so the Boil Water Advisory has been lifted.
Our operators, Optimum Environmental Corporation, did not find a leak at the valve or its fittings as expected. OEC is canceling further work until a leak detector can be onsite to pinpoint the issue. They have reported that there may be other leaks along the main line on Homestead.
We’ve identified a leak on Homestead Drive thanks to an aware member. Our operators have scheduled the repair for 7:30am to 4:00pm on Wednesday, June 10.
The outage will affect all of Homestead Drive, the residents out towards Richardson Road, as well as the residents on Clarks Branch Road past Wagontire Drive.
The outage will not affect residents along Wagontire, Horizon and Dole Road.
Beginning Wednesday, June 10 at 7:30am water system pressure will drop below the standard threshold of 20 PSI for residents listed above.

This Boil Water Advisory is a precaution. To limit risk to health, customers should follow the instructions contained in this advisory. When tests show no bacteria and you no longer need to boil your water, we will lift the boil water advisory. We anticipate resolving the problem within the next 3 days.

General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by contaminants in drinking water are available from the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or the Oregon Health Authority, Drinking Water Services at 971-673-0405.
Demonstrating its commitment to public health protection and the public’s right-to-know about local environmental information, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires all community water systems to put annual drinking water quality reports into the hands of their members. These reports (also known as consumer confidence reports), which EPA developed in consultation with water suppliers, environmental groups, and the states, will enable you to make practical, knowledgeable decisions about your health and your environment.
