Water Service Interruption for all Cape Meares Residents, 8/26/25 10AM-4PM

**IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT WATER SERIVCE**

Water service for all Cape Meares residents will be Shut Off on Tuesday 08/26/2025 from 10AM-4PM.

Oceanside Water District will be repairing a leak on Bayocean and 12th street. This leak is on the main water line feeding the community, so a temporary shut off of the entire Cape Meares water system is necessary.

We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, please call 503-842-6462.

Thank you,

Christian Anderson, District Manager

Correction: Water Bill due 7/31/25 NOT 6/30/25

Many apologies for the typo!

A reminder: For a single-family dwelling, the quarterly bill of $270 is the base pay for the current quarter of July, August, September (thus “paying ahead”). This provides 5,000 gallons per month of water usage. Your quarterly bill also includes the actual water usage from the meter readings three months prior (offset by one month): 2/28/25-5/31/25. If there were any water overages beyond the 5,000 gallons per month, the statement would include that charge at $3.15 per 1,000 gallons of water used.

AutoPay can be set up through the online Customer Portal: https://oceanside.secure.munibilling.com or by contacting Amber in the OWD office at 503-842-0370 or office@owd-oregon.org. The office is open from 9am-12pm Monday through Friday for any questions or assistance.

Update on Cape Meares Water Conservation

The replacement valve was successfully installed at the Cape Meares treatment plant Wednesday evening. Water from Coleman Creek is currently being treated and stored in the Cape Meares reservoir. At the point when the repair was completed the level was 6.3 feet or about 25% capacity. This meant that the conservation efforts by Cape Meares residents were successful and greatly appreciated. Thank you. Conservation signs will be pulled this afternoon, Friday May 30th.

PLEASE CONSERVE WATER IN CAPE MEARES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Late on May 23 a critical pressure reducer valve failed at the Cape Meares Treatment plant which means water from Coleman Creek cannot be treated.  Attempts were made to overnight the valve for an emergency repair, but the Memorial Day holiday has made this impossible.  The soonest the repair can be made is next Tuesday.  Since the Cape Meares tank was filled to capacity on Friday in preparation for the holiday sufficient water should be available if conservation measures are followed.  Water use will be monitored.  The water district regrets this inconvenience. WATER USAGE IN OCEANSIDE IS NOT AFFECTED.
