Water System: Strawberry Hill (Port Orchard)
Dates: See Below
Time: 7:00a.m. - 5:00p.m., daily
KPUD is installing water treatment infrastructure (filtration system) on the Strawberry Hill Water System. Once complete, the new filtration system will reduce levels of iron and manganese in your drinking water.
There are several items that must be done by KPUD prior to the filtration going online. We do not anticipate a water outage, however there is potential for customers serviced by the system to have low water pressure and experience discolored water once flushing begins. Experiencing some discolored water and decreased pressure during flushing is normal. Please contact us if you lose water completely. Want to know more about water flushing? Visit the Flushing FAQs page.
