Water shutoffs coming to Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood this month
SEATTLE - People living in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood will have their water shut off this Sunday for long-overdue repairs, with more shutoffs to follow this month.
According to the City of Seattle, the water main under Eastlake is 100 years old and is in dire need of earthquake-resistant upgrades.
Road crews have been working for months to build a stormwater line, and the next stretch will take them between Fuhrman Ave E and E Allison St.
