Cheney water well, paving projects could impact residents

The city of Cheney is announcing the start of several projects that may create impacts to residents’ services for a brief period of time.

The city’s recycling facility and yard waste disposal site on Anderson Road will be closed on Saturday, July 20, so a street repair and paving project can be completed. The yard waste disposal site will reopen for business either Saturday evening or Sunday morning, July 21, while the recycling facility is expected to reopen on Tuesday, July 23.

Cheney’s potable water supply Well 3 is scheduled for startup on Tuesday, July 23. During start-up, residents will most likely experience colored water, and the Water Department will be flushing hydrants in the area of Well 3.

If you experience colored water, please contact the Public Works Department at (509) 498-9293. For updated information on Well 3 start-up, please visit the city of Cheney’s website at http://www.cityofcheney.org and take advantage of the text and/or email alert system.
