PENDLETON – A vehicle struck a fire hydrant on Westgate in Pendleton last Thursday. The resulting damage caused the hydrant to separate on Friday. The result was a major water leak.
Public works crews labored over the weekend and early this week to repair the hydrant and damage that the leak caused.
City officials are asking if the public ever sees or causes damage to city systems, they report it to the Public Works Department as soon as possible by calling 541-966-0202. If the damage to street, sewer, and water city service issues after hours, call the Umatilla County Emergency Dispatch Center at 541-966-3651.
