Newport Public Work crews are working to restore water to the Salmon Run Apartments, off NE 71st today. They repaired the pump that broke down but when they fired it up, they detected a couple of leaks along the pipe. Seems the hillside is doing a little creeping as most coastal hillsides are prone to do after deluges accompanied by hurricane force winds. So crews are fixing the leaks. The city will contact the apartments manager when water is restored. In the meantime, residents have been provided with porta-potties outside their buildings.
