We're about to undertake the final step in completing the Water Street Enhancement Project: removing
the old poles. Water Street used to have overhead power. Thanks to the undergrounding partnership
between the City and Jefferson County PUD, Century Link, and Wave, these poles will be removed starting
Monday, July 20 at 7:00 am. The removal will last approximately 5 days. Parking on Water Street between
Taylor Street and the Ferry Terminal will be impacted on one side of the street and one block at a
time. Sidewalks and bus stops will remain open throughout the work. We thank business owners and the
public for their patience and help in making the Downtown Historic District an even better place!
For questions, please contact City of Port Townsend engineer, Laura Parsons, at 360-379-4432 or
lparsons@cityofpt.us.
