Dear Valued Customer,
On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the water service to your home or business will be temporarily shut off. During the shutoff, water will not be available from faucets, showers, toilets, or appliances that use water, like dishwashers and washing machines.
The shutoff is needed so Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD), your drinking water provider, can permanently disconnect the existing water main (that previously served the neighborhood) from the water system.
Learn more below about what to expect during the shutoff and how to prepare.

How to Prepare for the Shut Off
- Before: Fill clean containers with three to five gallons of tap water for drinking, cooking, and flushing toilets during the shut off.
- During: Keep faucets closed and do not use water-using appliances, such as dishwashers or washing machines.
- After: Turn on a faucet to see if your water service has been restored. If no water comes out, turn the faucet off, wait 15 minutes, and try again. Once your water service returns, run cold water from a faucet for about two minutes to flush your plumbing.
