Water service was expected to be restored by 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to the City of Mercer Island. However, East Mercer Way remains closed between Southeast 76th Street and the north end of Clarke Beach Park until it can be inspected, the city stated.
Officials noted there may be discoloration in the water, which will improve as the system flushes.
