Detour Ahead: Section of 10th Street Closes Oct. 4th for Fire Hydrant Repair
Beginning October 4th, 2021, the City of The Dalles Public Works Department will replace a damaged fire hydrant and fire hydrant valve at the intersection of E 10th St. and Laughlin St. The work is expected to be completed in three days.
Full road closure on E 10th St. between Federal St. and Jefferson St. will be in effect during work hours 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. All traffic can detour to E 11th St. via Federal St. and Jefferson St.
Motorists and bicyclists are encouraged to use alternate routes. The sidewalk will remain open to pedestrian traffic during construction. Please proceed with caution in this area and observe all temporary traffic control devices.Thank you for your assistance during this work.
Upon completion of the project the main will be flushed through the new fire hydrant. Occasionally main flushing causes water flowing from a tap to be discolored from stirred up sediment or milky white caused by tiny air bubbles. Although discolored water won’t make you sick, you might want to flush the pipe by running the water for several minutes before drinking or washing.
If the water does not clear, please contact the Public Works office at 541-296-5401.
