Newport: Residents near Park and Mark Streets should let their water run – if it’s brown, let it run longer

Newport city waterline ruptured by NW Natural Gas crew at Mark and Park in southwest Newport Tuesday afternoon. Let taps run to let whatever is in the pipes run through.
Folks in the Park and Mark Street areas are asked to run their tap water and run their washing machines a full cycle before using it for washing clothes. A water line in the area was accidentally punctured by NW Natural Gas crews.
