UPDATE: Water outage on Puget Ridge

5:20 PM: Thanks for the tips. As of about half an hour ago, Seattle Public Utilities is handling a water problem on Puget Ridge. It’s centered near 17th/Myrtle, according to SPU’s map. Though the map also projects a restoration time of 10 pm, we offer the same caveat as in power outages – those estimates are really just guesses, so could be much sooner or much later. If you’re having trouble and you’re not in the area shown on the map, call SPU at 206-386-1800 and be sure they know you’re affected too.

7:39 PM: We went to Puget Ridge and tried to find any SPU crews working around 17th/Myrtle; no luck. Water in the street, more than would be residual from the last round of rain, was in evidence on Myrtle between 16th and 17th, though.

    SPU has a truck at 17th and Myrtle SW right now, and they are jackhammering the road to get to the water main. Water has apparently been turned down to a trickle, but we’re not getting anything nearby. The crew is currently directing traffic from the northside of 17th SW and through traffic trying to get to 16th SW, but I imagine the less people that use that arterial towards 16th right now the better.

      That’s since we went through … thanks for the update.

    SPU just told my husband it will be 3 or 4 am before this repair has been fixed.

    Well, looks like they made the 10pm promise!

      The map does not show the outage as resolved – were you out and now back?

Sorry, comment time is over.
