City of Fortuna release:

On May 15th in between 2 pm and 9 pm the City of Fortuna will be conducting a water shutoff to repair a broken water main located on South Fortuna Boulevard.

This water shutdown and repair is associated with the emergency water shutoffs performed on Friday and Saturday of last week, which was due to a break that occurred on one of the City’s main water transmission lines.

The shutoffs are anticipated to affect customers located off of Fortuna Blvd in between Newburg Road and Strongs Creek Blvd, Spring and Summer Streets, and residential areas along Redwood Way west of Springville Avenue. However, due to the nature of the work larger or unforeseen service interruptions in other adjacent areas may be possible or required.

The City appreciates your patience and understanding as we deal with this unforeseen issue, and if you have any questions regarding the shutoff you can reach the Public Works Department at 725-1471.
