Water Advisory for North Beach Water District in Ocean Park, WA

North Beach Water District in Ocean Park Washington is advising all water customers to conserve water after water breaks caused by frozen pipes thawing are draining the District’s water storage reservoirs. The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has been notified and the North Beach Water District is working closely with the Office of Drinking Water to monitor the situation. The water conservation advisory will remain in effect until further notice.
“Until further notice, tap water remains safe for drinking, bathing and brushing teeth,” says Teresa Walker, the Department of Health engineer assisting North Beach. “Assuring safe drinking water is our highest priority, and we’re working the District officials to achieve that goal. We’ll monitor the District’s water quality and work with them to notify customers if the situation changes.”
According to the state Department of Health, customers are also advised to be extra careful with any unapproved sources of water that are available on their property. This includes agricultural wells or streams. Such water should not be used for drinking, cooking or brushing teeth.
Please check your house and your neighbors’ houses for broken pipes.
The water conservation advisory is a precautionary step that customers should take to keep the District from running out of water.
