||| FROM DAN BURKE for EASTSOUND WATER |||
This was a large-scale leak and there were symptoms felt throughout the system. Specifically, non-leak effected users would have seen low water pressure and some colorization of iron and manganese which would make their water appear ‘muddy’ or ‘clouded.’ This would include all of the Eastsound core and surrounding areas from Raccoon Point to Judd Cove. These are natural byproducts of a leak this size.
Currently, several properties and businesses on Main Street are out of water until a repair is in place and water has been restored. The current estimate for this outage is 8:00 pm, possibly longer. We will not have clarity on a firm restoration time until much later today.
