Water meter testing scheduled this morning in select locations
The city of Newberg will be testing large water meters for accuracy this morning (Tuesday). During the test, which may last 15 to 30 minutes, the water flow may be reduced or it may be off completely.
Locations for testing – which may result in the water being off completely – are Wheeler, Hobson, Macy and Sutton. Wood-Mar’s meter will also be tested, but the water meter has a bypass, so the interruption in service may not be noticeable in Wood-Mar.
Judging from past experience, the water might look a little cloudy when it runs after the test. If you are concerned, run the faucets a bit to clear the line after testing. Air in the line will make the water look cloudy from the aeration, but the water is fine.
If you have any concerns, please contact the Plant Services office at ext. 2010.
