Kirkland completes Timberlea repair without water shutdown
Kirkland says Friday’s Timberlea water repair was completed without interrupting service, so no new boil-water advisory is required.
Update — September 11, 2026, 10 a.m.: Kirkland says crews completed the Timberlea repair without interrupting water service. Because service remained on, the city says no new preventive boil-water advisory is required.
Residents may temporarily notice cloudy or discoloured water following the work. The city says the water remains safe to drink; affected households can run cold water from the bathtub tap for about 15 minutes, or until it runs clear.
Repair followed an earlier main break
The work followed a new leak detected near the site of the September 8 water-main break. Kirkland had initially planned a service interruption from 7 a.m. to about 5 p.m. on September 11 and advised residents to store water.
The preventive boil-water advisory associated with the September 8 break had already been lifted at 4:30 p.m. on September 10 after testing showed the water was safe. Friday’s successful repair did not trigger a separate advisory.
