Small East King County water system experiences outage

OLYMPIA — The 336 residents served by the Cristalina Water System in eastern King County are being asked to conserve and boil their water because of intermittent water outages. When water pressure drops, contaminants can enter the water lines.
The advisory applies only to this water system, which serves 85 homes east of Ravensdale. The system’s owner suspects a leak is causing the outages. She has hired a contractor to try to repair the leak.

Customers who have questions can call 425-922-3944.
