Overnight mechanical problems at the City of Kalama Drinking Water Treatment Plant, and water line breaks, have reduced the water storage reservoir to empty. Many water customer are out of water. The city is asking everyone to conserve what water is still available for emergency use only.
This problem is compounded by maintenance issues which required the city to take their two-million gallon reservoir off line. Most customers will be out of water most of the day. The Kalama schools, fire department, health department and local industries have been notified of the problem. Public Works crews are working to get the problem fixed.
Customers of the City of Kalama water system should immediately turn off the breaker to their hot water tank to prevent damage. Customers are asked to conserve water when water service is restored. Additional information will be issued as the day progresses.

I'm glad I found this website; the city of Kalama has given us no information. We woke up this morning to no water, and we had to drive to the Chevron station to pay for a half gallon of water. There is no information of the city of Kalama website.
I had to do the exact same thing.
Just glad I got there very shortly after the Chevron opened, looked like what water they had was going fast.
On the City of Kalama website they show a picture of our "state of the art" water purification plant. This plant was placed on-line in 2001. I am sure it has every bell and whistle possible. I think this is a staff management issue and someone really needs to be fired over this.
It's incredible how important the water is, without water we can't live,, actually I know water will be the fuel of the future the problem is little by little water is more contaminated.m10m
