Valley Water District Service Line Inventory
A recent Environmental Protection Agency ruling requires that every Public Water System conduct an inventory of all public and private water lines by October of 2024 to determine if there are any lead service lines. Valley Water District is in compliance with that rule and has submitted the findings that we have available with no lead found in any of our systems. The District is VERY CONFIDENT that there is no lead in any of our systems based on the knowledge, experience and history of our current staff over the last 20+ years. There has been no lead found or suspected in any of the water systems we have repaired or maintained. Unfortunately, because all of the systems were either purchased or donated to the District, there are not accurate drawings or information of all of the materials installed in each system. Therefore, until we have the time and resources available to identify all of the service lines, the District has to list them as “Unknown, likely not lead”.
Because there are materials in the ground that technically are not known, the District is required by law to send a notification to all customers who are being served that the material is unknown. This includes private service lines for homes that were built prior to 1986 (lead was banned in all water lines at the federal level in 1986, so any homes built after that do not have lead in their service lines).

April 6, 2026View Royal Emergency Repair - 4/6/26 UPDATED
UPDATE: 4/6/26 11:15am
The Emergency Repair has been completed!
District staff is still in the area doing flushing for the next several hours. It is possible that (naturally occurring) sediments will be stirred up during the flushing and could discolor the water. Please limit water use during this time. If discolored water is observed in your home plumbing, flush from a front outside hose bib for approx. 5 -10 minutes until the water runs clear.
Thank you for your patience during this process!

View Royal System 4/6/2026
A watermain break is being repaired this morning around Entwhistle Rd E and in the View Royal Water System between 229th and 230th Ave E. Crews have been dispatched and are working diligently on this emergency repair so that the water can be restored for the affected customers. Several customers in this area may experience low water pressure or even be without water during this repair.
Once they have completed the repairs, the District crew is going to flush the system for the next several hours. It is possible that (naturally occurring) sediments will be stirred up during the flushing and could discolor the water. If discolored water is observed in your home plumbing, flush from the front outside hose bib for (approximately 5-10 minutes) until the water runs clear. It can also help if you limit your water use while the flushing is underway.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, but we are working as quickly as possible to make this emergency repair in the system.
Thank you
Valley Water District
