OEC was able to dig up the area and found the leak. We were pleased it was easily accessible and not located under the road. The repair has been made and the hole is getting filled. Water service has been restored.
Special thanks to John and his crew for a quick response for our members. Have a Happy Labor Day Weekend!
Thanks to one of our members, a steady water leak was identified at the intersection of Buckboard and Wagontire. OEC will be addressing the leak this morning, Friday, August 29th. Its estimate water will be shut off from 9:00am to 1:00pm.
If anyone notices a water pooling, patches of green when it’s dry or other signs of water leaks and broke lines, please contact the association or join the CBWA Facebook group.
For emergencies (such as a broken water line on the association side of a meter), please call our plant operators at (541) 643-6137. If you have a water leak on your side of the meter, it is your responsibility to have it repaired.
Water will be turned off immediately for the entire system since the repair on Wagontire blew the corp stop. It’s expected to be down for less then 1 hour.
For members with pumps, you should shut off pumps if they not setup to auto shut off.
UPDATE: As of 1:33pm, we’ve been notified by OEC that the treatment system is starting up and it will take about 30-45 minutes for everyone to have water.
Leak repair will begin the morning of Tuesday, July 8th so be aware of equipment and trucks in the area of 329 Wagontire Drive. The plant operators from OEC believe the repair can be isolated to a single home so water will not be shut off for all members. OEC is waiting on an official “Okay” from Oregon Utility Notification Center – Oregon811 before they can dig. We will notify everyone if details change.
