SUMNER, Wash. — A contractor has hit a water main in the city of Sumner, the third time in three weeks that this has happened, leaving some residents without water for several hours.
The city of Sumer posted on X that the 4-plexes on 54th Court E will be without water as crews work to restore the service.
When water is restored, residents will need to boil water this weekend until test results come back on Monday.
