🌳🏆 Congratulations to Sharron Allen and Cameron Larson! 🏆🌳

The Beautification & Tree Committee is proud to present Sharron and Cameron with the August Beautification Award for their stunning garden at 412 West 2nd Place.

Here's what they had to say about their garden journey:

“We purchased our house in August 2016. The yard consisted of the apple tree and dead weeds. We knew that we didn’t want a traditional lawn, so the next spring we built a few raised beds and started vegetables from seed. Every year since then, we have added beds or redesigned the ones we have. Each year it is different, flowers have become more prominent, and somehow it keeps getting more varied, fuller, and maybe a little bit chaotic by late summer, but we love it.”

PRESS RELEASE

TOPIC: Downtown Area Water Quality Notice

CONTACT: City of The Dalles Public Works Department (541) 296-5401

FOR RELEASE: IMMEDIATELY

On the afternoon of Friday August 2, 2024 multiple fire departments responded to a fire near the intersection of Webber Street and River Road. Fire fighting activities resulted in increased flow rates of water in the City water mains. It is possible that these increased flow rates within the mainline pipes may stir up accumulated rust and sediments from within the pipes which may cause the water in the downtown areas to look cloudy or discolored.

As the fire emergency subsides, flow rates within the City water system will return to normal. Any discolored water that customers may experience should be readily cleared by flushing your pipes before consumption. Although discolored water won’t make you sick, you might want to flush your pipes for several minutes before drinking or washing.

If the water does not clear, please contact the Public Works office at 541-296-5401, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., after hours (541) 980-7703.
