View Royal High Flow Testing on January 23, 2025

Thursday, January 16, 2025

The City of Bonney Lake, the Fire Marshal, and Valley Water District will be  conducting FINAL Fire Flow Testing in the View Royal System on Thursday, January 23rd from 8 am - 3:30 pm.  We are asking customers to limit water use during that time to avoid drawing discolored water into your home plumbing.  

This is the same testing that was conducted in September 2024 which took place without any incident or impact to any of the residents in the View Royal System.

After the testing, District staff will immediately begin flushing to clear any discolored water out of the watermains and will continue flushing until the water runs clear.  The District anticipates all flushing to be completed by 3:30pm but will flush as long as necessary.

Please note that the water, while aesthetically unappealing, is still completely safe as the sediment/discoloration is from naturally occurring minerals that settle in the watermains and is stirred up during high flow events.  

Please click the link below to see the letter that was sent to the specific customers that will be most affected (approximately 6 customers along 100th St Ct E, 3 customers along 229th Ave E and 2 customers on SR 410).
