Water pressures in this area fell below 20 pounds per square inch (psi) for a brief period of time. Water pressure in this area and other areas east of I-510 have been lower than normal since Wednesday, August 5th. Crews have been and are continuing to search the area for major water leaks, but have not yet identified a specific location or cause. The area may experience continued pressure fluctuations until the root cause is identified and repairs are completed. SWBNO has and continues to deploy numerous resources and methods, including underground leak detection methods, to identify the cause of the issue. At this time, water pressures remain stable above 20 psi, and all water samples have passed lab testing.
