20 Mercer Island homes evacuated due to leaking water pipe causing soil instability and landslide risk.

20 homes on Mercer Island were evacuated overnight due to a leaking underground water pipe causing soil instability and landslide risk. The city ordered residents downstream of the leak to evacuate, as the 24-inch high-pressure water pipe, owned and maintained by Seattle Public Utilities, posed danger of potential flooding or landslide. The city is working with local authorities and departments to ensure affected residents' safety.
