Reclamation monitors seep near I-90

The Bureau of Reclamation is monitoring water seeping along I-90 near the Weber Siphon, after being notified by the Washington Department of Transportation. The area is near the location where two concrete pipes run underneath I-90 and transport water for irrigation purposes.

“Reclamation is monitoring the site and taking protective measures. The seep is minor, and at this time does not pose a threat to I-90 or to the frontage road,” said Brandt Demars, Program Manager for Construction Engineering. “The East Low Canal remains fully operational and irrigation flows have not been affected.”
