ASTORIA WATER LINE LEAK

Water service was disrupted for some City of Astoria water customers today.  A waterline was compromised early this morning at 5th and Madison in Astoria. Assistant City Engineer Nathan Crater (KRAY-ter) says that caused an effect on the pumping system for the Skyline tank, resulting in another leak in the Skyline area.  Crews are working to refill the Skyline tank.  Water service is the Skyline area should be restored shortly.   The leak at 5th and Madison should be repaired by this afternoon.
