Details: | Adam Claussen with the City of Newberg called the DWS after-hours number (503-704-1174) to report that at about 9:00 am on 6/19/25 a contractor had broken a 6-inch water line causing a loss of pressure for two residential services on NE Harmony Ln, south of Portland Rd. He said that they were following Best Management Practices for waterline breaks and were notifying the customers, flushing, and then going to take a sample to test for coliform bacteria. On Friday, 6/20/25 I emailed and spoke to Adam who said the coliform results would be back on Saturday. I told Adam if the results were absent of bacteria, they could lift the boil notice and to email me and/or call the DWS after-hours number (503-704-1174) if he had questions or if the results showed the presence of coliform bacteria. The results came back clean, and Adam emailed me and called the DWS after-hours number on Saturday to notify DWS they were lifting the notice for the two affected services. Lifted 06/21/2025: The coliform sample results came back clean, and Adam Claussen emailed me and called the DWS after-hours number on Saturday to notify DWS they were lifting the notice for the two affected services. |
