PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE

RESCINDING PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER ADVISORY & SETTING END DATE FOR MANDATORY WATER CONSERVATION NOTICE 

Issued: 11/30/2023, 12:35 PM 

Effective immediately, the Town of Cathlamet is rescinding the boil water advisory and setting an end date for the mandatory water conservation measures issued on November 29, 2023. We ask that you continue to conserve water until 9:00 am tomorrow morning, Friday, December 1, 2023. 

Update from our Superintendent: Bacteria were not found in the drinking water samples taken on November 29th. The precautionary boil water advisory has been lifted effective immediately; however, non-essential water usage should continue to be limited until 9:00 am on Friday, December 1st since reservoir levels are only at 60%. If your water appears cloudy or discolored in any way, please run your faucets before using and contact Public Works if the problem persists. Our sincere thanks go out to everyone for your patience and understanding while we worked to resolve these issues. Please contact the Public Works Superintendent at (360) 795-3203 x4 or david@townofcathlamet.com with any questions or concerns regarding these notices.

Effective immediately, the Town of Cathlamet is implementing precautionary boil water measures for all customers located in Zone 2 and Zone 3 of the Cathlamet water system or if you were without water service for any period of time on the morning of November 29, 2023. This notice is being issued in connection with the water conservation notice issued earlier today and will continue until the Town provides notice that the precautionary boil water notice has been lifted. All addresses east of Maple Street and including the Rosedale area are included in Zone 2 and Zone 3. Puget Island is not affected by this notice. 

It is anticipated that the results of the bacteria water samples will be back by the end of tomorrow. Once we receive the results and confirm that the water is safe for consumption, we anticipate rescinding this notice.
