ASSOCIATION ALERTS
March 25, 2024
Throughout this week, 3LWA will be performing several days of tie-ins to our one mile of newly installed watermain. As we work to complete this transition, the Association is receiving inquiries regarding air-filled or cloudy water coming from in-home taps. If you are experiencing any air bubbles or cloudiness of your water, please run your outside hose bib for 10 minutes to clear the line. This water is sanitary and safe to drink, however please notify the Association office if any issues persist.
Thank you-
Three Lakes Water Association Staff

Staff has commenced our annual water main flushing activity March 7th, 2024. This activity is necessary to keep the association's fire hydrants operational. Some members may experience cloudy water at times shortly after a nearby section of water main has been flushed. If you are experiencing cloudy water, run water at your hose bib for five to ten minutes until it clears. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this activity, please contact the Association office.
Thank you for your patience.
ASSOCIATION NEWS
171st CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Association Members,
​
A segment of AC main along 171st AVE SE from Booster Pump Station One to 48th ST SE is in process for replacement as part of our long-range Comprehensive Water System Plan. The existing infrastructure continues to show evidence of its age and wear, nearing its lifespan. This first phase of the project will replace approximately 5,800 linear feet of 6" asbestos cement main with 8" ductile iron main.
​
Construction will begin the week of January 8th, 2024 and is expected to take a few months to complete. During this time, you will see Association staff in the field supporting this project with our awarded contractor.
​
Please contact the office with any questions or concerns. We truly appreciate your added safety and patience in this area as we work to complete this project.
