Mercer Island residents may need to conserve water this summer because of a major supply line break earlier this month.

Construction on the water pipes to Mercer Island before a water valve seized shutting off water to the island.

Initially, the estimate to fix the pipe was several days, but is now projected to take much longer. SPU crews said repair work is being hampered by challenges with the site and topography. As of now, there is no official timeline for when things might be back to normal. “We know these types of restrictions can be inconvenient. While evaluation and planning work is still underway to determine what restrictions may be needed, we aim to provide you with advance notice that water conservation will likely be essential this summer,” the city wrote.
