City Water Curtailment Notice

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - JUNE 22, 2026
CITY OF WHITE SALMON – WATER CURTAILMENT NOTICE

The City of White Salmon will be performing a critical water system tie-in on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, as part of the Transmission Main Replacement Project.

To ensure adequate water supply and system reliability during this work, all water customers throughout the City of White Salmon, the City of Bingen, and surrounding areas connected to the City of White Salmon water system are requested to significantly reduce water use during the tie-in operation.

Please avoid the following activities between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM on June 24:

• Lawn and landscape irrigation
• Washing vehicles
• Filling pools, hot tubs, or water features
• Power washing
• Any other non-essential water use

Maintaining adequate system pressure is critical during this work. Excessive water use could contribute to low-pressure conditions in portions of the distribution system. If system pressure falls below state regulatory requirements, the City may be required to issue a Boil Water Advisory until water quality testing confirms the system remains safe for consumption.

Customers may experience temporary fluctuations in water pressure during the tie-in operation. Every effort will be made to minimize impacts and complete the work as quickly as possible.

This project is a critical investment in the City's water infrastructure and long-term reliability. We appreciate your cooperation and assistance in helping us avoid service disruptions and complete this important work safely.

If you have any questions or concerns about the project, please feel free to contact Chris True, Public Works Director for the City of White Salmon, at christ@whitesalmonwa.gov or (509) 493-1133, ext. 500.
