Twin Lakes & Salmon Creek off limits. Salmon Creek water line breaks, but CBJ water supply remains OK.

Due to the record amount of recent rainfall, mudslides and flooding have caused damage around town. The City and Borough of Juneau encourages residents to stay away from steep hillsides and flooded areas, including:

• Twin Lakes Park – CBJ Parks & Recreation has closed this area until Friday, including Project Playground and the walking path. Parks & Recreation staff continue work on cleaning up the debris and rerouting water flows. For more information, contact Parks & Recreation at 586-5226.
• Salmon Creek road/trail – Alaska Electric Light & Power (AEL&P) has closed access due to large landslides. See more information here or contact AEL&P at 780-2222

In addition, a rockslide has damaged the water supply line from Salmon Creek Dam to CBJ’s Salmon Creek Water Filtration Plant, but there is no cause for concern. CBJ’s primary water supply, Last Chance Basin, and CBJ’s six water tanks are still functioning and can meet the community’s water needs. The public water system is not in danger of running out of the water and emergency precautions do not need to be taken. For more information, call Utilities at 586-0393.

Heavy rains over the last 24 hours have caused damage on a number of Juneau streets. CBJ Streets Maintenance Division is working around the clock to clear debris and repair damage. Thank you for your patience and caution as CBJ works to clear roadways and drainage systems.
