Webber Street Revisions Begin Wednesday

Posted on by mbailey

Starting Wednesday morning, Webber Street in The Dalles will partially reopen to traffic with temporary traffic controls in place as Crestline Construction continues work on Phase 2 of the Westside Interceptor Upgrade Project.  Between 6:30 in the morning and about 6:00 in the evening, Monday through Saturday, Webber Street will be open to eastbound traffic only toward the Columbia River and the Port of The Dalles.  Westbound traffic, away from the river and out of the Port area, will be detoured via River Road to West 6th Street.  Webber Street will be open to two-way traffic from 6:00 in the evening to 6:30 in the morning, Monday through Saturday, and all day Sunday.  These traffic measures will remain in place until West 1st Street reopens between Union Street and Terminal Way, restoring a direct connection between the Downtown area and the Port.  Once that segment of West 1st Street reopens, Webber Street is expected to close again beginning April 20, with the closure anticipated to continue into July.

The Dalles Public Works Being Hydrant Flushing

Posted on by mbailey

The Dalles Public Works will be flushing fire hydrants throughout the city over the next few weeks.  Fire hydrants are flushed in order to clean out deposits, sediments and rust from distribution pipelines, minimize water quality problems, test fire protection water pressures, exercise hydrant valves, and identify hydrants needing repair or replacement.  Motorists and pedestrians are asked to avoid driving or walking through the water coming directly from a hydrant while it is being flushed.  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, contact The Dalles Public Works office at 541-296-5401 during the business day or 541-980-7703 after hours.
