Crews will be out in the area working to flush out Fire Hydrants. You may notice and see water running down the street. Although it may appear to waste water, the process is part of a routine maintenance program necessary to maintain the integrity of the water system and allow us to ensure the hydrants are in proper working order.
As a result of the line flushing process, residents in the immediate vicinity of the work may experience temporary low pressure and discoloration of their water. This discoloration consists primarily of harmless silt and air and does not affect the safety of the water. If you experience discoloration in your water after crews have been flushing in your neighborhood, clear the pipes in your home by running all water faucets for a few minutes.
