Annual Flushing of Water Lines Begins April 9

 

APRIL 9, 2012 - Public Works & Natural Resources will begin its annual flushing of the water lines April 9. They flush the lines to keep water quality at its highest level and to ensure that fire hydrants are operational. The benefits realized in water quality and fire protection far outweigh the comparatively small amount of water released during the flushing program. Citizens may notice low water pressure, discolored water or no water for short periods of time when flushing is taking place in their neighborhood. It's recommend that citizens limit water use, and particularly avoid using hot water when flushing is occurring in their immediate area. For more information please call 303-651-8468.
