Superintendent: All pressure tests passed after nine leaks; watermain tie‑in at Cle Elum Ball Park underway
Summary
Public Works Superintendent Matt reported that all pressure tests have passed after nine leaks, the watermain tie‑in at Cle Elum Ball Park began the day of the meeting and will continue the next day, with services to follow.
Superintendent Matt told the council that "all pressure tests have now passed after a total of nine leaks," signaling progress on the town-wide water-main replacement project. He said the watermain tie-in at the Cle Elum Ball Park began today and will continue tomorrow, and crews will follow with service connections.
The update also noted the town responded to an external leak in Cle Elum when the town's water tank was draining quickly; public works crews assisted to isolate the leak and prevent a loss of service. Councilmembers asked for continued coordination as the project proceeds.
Why it matters: The successful pressure tests indicate the reliability of recent repairs and are a necessary step before broader service restoration and connections; ongoing tie-ins will temporarily affect local work schedules and possibly traffic near the park.
