Crown Hill boil water advisory lifted days after main break, service fully restored

SEATTLE — Water service has been fully restored to the Crown Hill neighborhood after a water main break disrupted supply to nearly 3,000 households and businesses late Wednesday night.

Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) crews repaired the broken main by Thursday afternoon, and water service was gradually reinstated by Thursday evening as the main was refilled.

Following the repair, SPU conducted flushing and testing of the main and surrounding areas to ensure there was no contamination.

The precautionary boil water advisory has now been lifted, confirming that the water is safe to drink.

“Protecting public health and safety is our top priority,” said Alex Chen, Deputy Director for SPU’s Water Line of Business. “We appreciate the Crown Hill neighborhood’s assistance while we repaired the main and made sure our water is free from contaminants.”
