8:00 p.m., Sept. 3, 2024
Repairs are complete and water service has been restored to all affected properties and fire hydrants.
When water service is restored, properties may temporarily experience low water pressure until water lines refill. A temporary outage normally entraps some air in the water distribution system, which can cause water to have a cloudy appearance. It also stirs up sediment in water mains that may briefly cause discolored water. The water is safe to drink.
To clear your pipes of entrapped air and discoloration, run cold water faucets that do not have a screen, such as those in tubs or an outside spigot. Flush your lines until the water runs clear.

This morning, Eagle River Water & Sanitation District Field Operations staff was notified of water surfacing near Building G at 4770 Vail Racquet Club Townhouse Drive in East Vail.
The surfacing water was causing surrounding asphalt to rise and some water leaked through the wall of Building G making it into the crawlspace.
ERWSD staff turned down water pressure valves to reduce pressure and lessen the leak. The surfacing water slowed considerably.
The outlined properties in red and circled fire hydrants in green are currently with reduced pressure water service.
There will be an emergency water service outage for the Racquet Club Townhomes on Vail Racquet Club Townhouse Drive in East Vail on Sept. 3, 2024, so that crews can repair the water leak.
Affected residents have been notified directly in person or by door hanger.
Affected properties will experience low water pressure until Sept. 3, 2024, when crews will begin repair work.
During the repair work, there will be an emergency water service outage. Crews will remain on site until repairs have been completed.
To prepare for the outage, affected residents may want to fill containers, buckets, and jugs so that they have water throughout the evening during the outage. Water from a bucket or jug can be used for hand washing, toilet flushing or for drinking or cooking needs. To flush a toilet during a water outage, pour a bucket of water into the toilet bowl all at once (learn how by watching this short video) or fill the tank for regular flushing.
