Dear Valued Customer,
This is a reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday, February 18, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the water service to your home will be temporarily turned off.
Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD), your drinking water provider, will be adjusting the depth of several sections of the existing 8-inch water main under SW Blanton Street between SW 209th Avenue and SW Katie Rose Terrace.
During the shut off, water will not be available from faucets, showers, toilets, or appliances that use water, like dishwashers and washing machines.
Learn more below about what to expect during the shutoff and how to prepare.

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 will 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 flows, turn off the faucet, wait 15 minutes, and try again. Once service returns, run cold water for about two minutes to flush your plumbing.
