A mudslide damaged a residence on Douglas Island, between Lawson Creek and Homestead Park, after a water leak reportedly caused a retaining wall to fail on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The slide occurred on the downhill slope in the 2500 block of Douglas Highway, taking out the retaining wall and pushing a small shed down toward the house, CBJ Emergency Program Manager Tom Mattice said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no longer stable,\u201d Mattice said by phone, adding that the mudslide pushed in two walls of the residence, which was vacant and for sale. \u201cIt\u2019s uninhabitable at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

The water and power was cut off due to safety concerns, he noted.<\/p>\n

Workers from Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities will put in a temporary retaining wall, Mattice said. The mudslide was largely confined to the one property, leaving the neighboring residence in no apparent danger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
