Dear Valued Customer,
Water service to your home will be turned off for about one hour on one weekday between February 9 and February 19, 2026. The shutoff will happen sometime between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Service will not be shut off on Monday, February 16, for the Presidents’ Day holiday.
This work allows Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD), your drinking water provider, to connect your home’s individual water service line to the newly installed water main under SW Skyhar Drive. Your service line is a smaller underground pipe that delivers water from the main to your home.
Because more than 40 homes in your neighborhood need to be connected one at a time, we are unable to provide you with an exact shutoff schedule for your respective home. TVWD staff will knock on your door shortly before turning off your water, which will be unavailable for approximately one hour.
During the shut off, water will not be available from faucets, showers, toilets, or water-using appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines.
Below is more information about what to expect and how to prepare.
Water Shut Off Overview
- Date: One weekday between February 9 and February 19, 2026 (not February 16)
- Time/Duration: Between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for about one hour
- Work Area: Near your water meter (usually by the street)
- Addresses Affected: Shown in yellow on the map below
What to Expect During the Shut Off
- No water will be available from your home’s faucets, showers, toilets, or water-using appliances
- Access to your home will be maintained, though there may be brief delays when using your driveway
- You may notice noise, dust, vibrations, and large equipment
- Traffic will be guided around the work area
- Restricted parking near the work area
- Mail, deliveries, and garbage service will continue as usual
How to Prepare for the Shut Off
- Before the shut off: Fill clean containers with three to five gallons of tap water for drinking, cooking, and flushing toilets. Larger households may want to store more.
- During the shut off: Keep all faucets and water-using appliances turned off. This helps prevent air, debris, or sudden pressure changes from entering your plumbing when water service is restored.
- After the shut off: Turn on a faucet to check if water service has been restored. If no water comes out, turn off the faucet, wait 15 minutes, and try again. Once water is back on, run cold water for about two minutes to flush your plumbing.
