Cape Meares Water
OWD has received notice from Oregon Health Authority that the water in Cape Meares has been tested, all test results came out negative, and the water is safe for consumption.
The boil water notice has been removed as of 4:30 PM Thursday 10/06/2016 for the Cape Meares community.
Any discolored water coming out your tap should be allowed to flow until clear. This coloration is a result of numerous valves being closed and opened in the search for the leak.
Boil Water Notice for Cape Meares
The boil water notice is still effect for Cape Meares until water samples have been received, results are expected later this week. If there is any discoloration in your water, run tap until clear.
Water Emergency at Cape Meares
At approximately 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 1, reports were received of low or no water pressure from Cape Meares community residents. The Oceanside Water District was contacted and discovered that the 200,000 gallon water reservoir was empty. Efforts are underway to locate and repair the breach that emptied the tank.
For any residents that do have pressure – there is a “boil water” advisory that will remain in place until the break is located and repaired and the water has been tested and passed.
Attempts have been made to supply emergency drinking water to residents unable to drive to Tillamook to purchase their own. If you are planning on visiting the Cape Meares community, be aware of the water issue and please bring your own!
Emergency drinking water is available to community residents at the local Cape Meares Community Center. Contact the OWD if you are unable to obtain supplies for your personal use.
At this time it is unknown when the water service will return to normal.
