District 1 City Councilmember Lisa Herbold provided this notice of a planned water outage for South Delridge on March 22 and 23.

Between 9 p.m. on March 22 and 6 a.m. on March 23, SPU will be performing work on a water main in parts of Westwood, South Delridge and White Center. This will entail temporarily shutting off water access for residences between Barton and Roxbury between 15th and 26th, as well as some blocks to the south of Roxbury, some of which are in White Center (here’s a link to the Seattle City limits map in case you’re interested, where you can see a small segment between Roxbury and SW 98th is part of Seattle).

The map below is from SPU’s Water Outages page, which lists planned outages, and shows where this outage is planned:

Here is advice for SPU for affected residents:

Here are some ways you can prepare for the upcoming water outage: 

 Before the water outage:

• Fill pots on the stove with water for cooking.
• Fill a couple of buckets with water for washing.
• Fill potable water containers for drinking. 
• Fill bathtubs with water and use buckets to flush toilets. A toilet will flush when approximately a gallon of water is dumped into the bowl.

 During the water outage:

• Try not to operate the water faucets. This will prevent air from entering your plumbing.

According to SPU, planned water outages are sometimes needed to keep Seattle's regional drinking water system flowing with clean, safe, and reliable water to the more than 1.5 million people we serve.
