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.
