Fall City Boil-Water Notice
November 2, 2026 12:30 PM
Follow the boil-water notice until the Water District officially lifts it. Check the official sources below for current instructions and affected areas. This page brings together official notice links and community updates. This is a community resource, not an official Water District or Department of Health notice.
What we know
A boil-water notice has been issued for Fall City. The District’s website names downtown, Fall City–Redmond Road, Fall City–Preston Road, and David Powell Road.
Washington State Department of Health’s alert lists an October 29 notice and reports coliform detected in the water. That listing does not specifically identify E. coli.
According to information received for this community update, State DOH engineering and coliform teams are onsite working directly with District staff. Their findings have not yet been shared with us.
The source has not been confirmed. Possible explanations range from a sampling problem to an issue with a seal, storage facility, or water line. These are possibilities, not findings about this incident.
A notice covering a connected network does not mean every well, tank, or neighborhood has tested positive.

If you are concerned about illness
If you feel ill and are concerned about exposure, contact a healthcare provider for evaluation and advice about testing. Tell them about the water advisory. If an infection is diagnosed, work with your provider on appropriate public-health reporting. We have not received confirmation of an illness outbreak associated with this advisory. That does not establish that no illnesses have occurred.
What happens next?
The investigation needs to establish what happened, address any problems, and verify water quality through follow-up sampling. This may take several days; there is no confirmed resolution date to share here. Continue following the advisory until the District announces that it has been lifted. Clear results from an individual sample should not be treated as an all-clear for the system.
Help neighbors stay informed
Please share the official notice with neighbors, especially anyone who may not receive online updates. Direct people to the District’s website so they can check the latest instructions.
