SEATTLE — A drinking water advisory for part of South Seattle, in effect since yesterday morning, has been lifted after extensive lab tests confirmed the water is safe to drink.
As a precaution, Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) had asked customers in an area of southeast Seattle to refrain from drinking or cooking with tap water following an early morning loss of water pressure Wednesday that affected about 1300 homes and businesses.
“We collected 13 samples yesterday to ensure water quality was maintained in the area affected by water pressure loss,” said Wylie Harper, lab director for Seattle Public Utilities. “Results of the tests, completed today, confirm the water quality is good.”
Some residents may have experienced discolored water yesterday as a result of the outage. While this discoloration is not a health concern, residents should open their taps and run water until it is clear. If the water remains discolored, please contact SPU Customer Service at (206) 684-3000.
The outage occurred when a pipe broke where it connects to the large water main that supplies the area. Water pressure was restored late Wednesday afternoon.
Customers with questions can call SPU Customer Service at 206-684-3000.

Did you know that many people in our community are forced to choose between paying for their rent and paying for food?
On Sat., Sept. 24, at 7:30 am, Food Lifeline and the American Egg Board will host a free community breakfast for as many as 800 neighbors in need at the Filipino Community Center (5740 MLK, Jr. Way) in southeast Seattle.
The event is designed to provide a hot, nutritious meal to those members of the community who may have limited resources or have been hit hard by the recession. No one will be turned away.
In addition to breakfast, the event will include live entertainment, cooking demonstrations by a celebrity chef from the Cooking Channel and giveaways for all attendees.

With Seattle schools back in session, it’s important to remember cops are out in full force enforcing school safety zones.
“If you pass a school bus, you’ll have to shell out $384,” KOMO 4’s Mike Dardis informs us. “And if you pass a vehicle that’s stopped at a crosswalk or intersection for a pedestrian, that’s $124 – 191 bucks if it causes an accident.”
He said if you’re speeding in a school zone, that will cost you $189.
