City Manager Issues Proclamation Ending Water Supply Local Emergencies

August 15, 2024 - City Manager Jessi Bon issued Proclamation No. 344 which ends the state of local emergencies related to the SPU water pipeline leaks and the supply of potable water to Mercer Island, respectively declared in Proclamations No. 327 and No. 329. These local emergencies are no longer necessary following the restoration of the water supply line earlier this month. 

Mercer Island’s water system received water from a smaller backup supply line for 120 days while emergency work was underway to repair a leak in the main pipe. During this time of reduced water supply, the community successfully curtailed water use to maintain adequate levels in the Island’s reservoirs. The City sincerely thanks our residents and businesses for their hard work throughout this emergency.
