Dear Valued Customer,
The water service to your home will be temporarily shut off for approximately one hour between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on one weekday between November 9 and November 18, 2026.
Why is my water being shut off?
Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD), your drinking water provider, is connecting your home on SW Leslie Street, SW Lara Street, or SW 74th Street to the newly installed water main. This work will occur at your water meter near the street.
Your water must be turned off temporarily while crews complete this connection.
When will my water be shut off?
Crews will connect homes to the new water main one at a time, so we cannot provide an exact date or time for your connection in advance.
Crews will knock on your door before turning off your water. Your water service will be restored as soon as the connection is complete. The shutoff is expected to last approximately one hour.

What should I expect?
During the temporary shutoff:
- Water will not be available from your home's:
- Faucets and sinks
- Showers and bathtubs
- Toilets
- Dishwashers and washing machines
- Other water-using appliances
- Access to your home and driveway will be maintained.
- You may notice construction noise, dust, and minor vibration.
- You may also see construction vehicles, equipment, and materials near the work area.
- Temporary changes or restrictions may affect parking, sidewalks, bicycle travel, or vehicle traffic near the work area.
- Mail, deliveries, and garbage service are expected to continue as usual.
How can I prepare for the water shutoff?
- Before: Fill clean containers with 3 to 5 gallons of tap water for drinking, cooking, and flushing toilets during the shut off.
- During: Keep faucets turned off 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 2 minutes to flush your plumbing.
About the Project
This work is part of the Leslie St. Water Main Replacement Project, which will improve water system reliability, water flow, and access to water for emergency response in your neighborhood.
The project is scheduled for completion in late November 2026. Permanent paving of areas of the streets affected by excavation is scheduled for later in 2026 or in 2027. The construction schedule may change due to weather, site conditions, or other factors.
