Pump Station Installed in Cape Meares
On Tuesday, December 30, a 10-ton pump station was installed in Cape Meares to provide water service to residents who live at elevations higher that where the new tank was located. The installation went well. The pump station will be tested for the next several weeks before it becomes operational.
Pump Station for Cape Meares
Lyda Evacuating, Inc. is scheduled to pick up the completed pump station on Monday, Dec. 29th. The company has scheduled a crane for Tuesday, Dec. 30, to set the structure on the pad that is located on 5th Street in Cape Meares. Lyda has coordinated with Tillamook PUD to de-energize the powerlines in the vicinity from 10 am – noon on Tuesday. The pump should be operational by the end of the day on December 30.
Booster Pump for Cape Meares
Work was begun on Monday, December 8, 2014, to install the booster pump to supply water from the new Cape Meares water tank to residents who live south of Pacific Street.
The work involved in preparing the site, installing a pad and then locating the pump on the pad will require approximately one week. With the stormy weather in the forecast for the week the length of time before the pump will be operational may be longer.
There should be no effect on water service until the final connection is made between the pump and the pipes that will provide service. If there is any interruption of water services check this site for details.

Demolition of Old Cape Meares Water Tank
The demolition of the Cape Meares 100,000 gallon, Cor-Ten reservoir began on Monday, 9/23/14, when the crew moved in to the location of the tank and, by the end of the day, completely removed the steel top of the reservoir. On Tuesday, 9/24/14, the sides of the reservoir came down in sheets 6 feet wide by 12 foot in length. By the end of the day the tank demolition project was one-third complete. With all the oxy/acetylene torch cutting going on, the damp weather has been beneficial in creating a safe environment for the project.

Backflow or Backsiphonage Assemblies
Do you have any of the following?
- Swimming Pool
- Hot-Tub
- Active Solar Unit
- Fire Sprinkler System
- Large Scale Water Feature
- Underground Lawn Irrigation System
If you do, you are required by the State of Oregon to install a cross-connection assembly for the protection of the entire water system. This assembly must be inspected annually by a certified inspector. As a service to our customers, the OWD staff will, at your convenience and at no charge, help you determine if a back-flow prevention assembly is needed for your home.
The Federal Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, and the statutes of the State of Oregon, Administrative Rules Chapters #333-61-070, and #333-61-072, state that the water supplier has the primary responsibility for the preventing of water from unapproved-approved sources, or any other substances, from entering the public potable water system.
This means the Oceanside Water District is responsible for the protection of the public potable water distribution system from contamination or pollution due to the backflow or backsiphonage of contaminants or pollutants through the water service connection. If, in the judgment of the Oceanside Water District, an approved backflow assembly is required at the District’s water connection to any customer’s premises, the Oceanside Water District, or its delegated agent, shall give notice in writing to said customer to install an approved backflow prevention assembly at each service connection to his premises. The customer shall, within ninety (90) days, install such approved assembly, or assemblies, at his own expense and failure or refusal, or inability on the part of the customer to install said assembly or assemblies within ninety (90) days shall constitute a ground for discontinuing water service to the premises until such assembly or assemblies have been properly installed.
Ordinance 96-1 is currently being enforced for Oceanside Water District customers. If you are interested in reviewing all details regarding the ordinance click on the link below and view the PDF of this document.
